Vase, Ernest Chaplet, c. 1885 - c. 1886
gilding, h c.32.5cm × w 31.3cm More details
The decorations on this vase refer to the sea. Both sides feature fish, inspired by Japanese prints. The handles are infants, and around them seaweed and shells. The coloured decoration was produced using an experimental technique in which randomly produced patterns were embellished in the glaze. Edouard Dammouse, a key painter at Ernest Chaplet’s workplace applied the decoration.
