Enamelled Glass Vase
About 1850
Jean-François Robert had worked for Sèvres porcelain factory since 1807. In 1837 he patented a technique for enamelling glass and retiered from Sèvres to set up a workshop nearby, to decorate both vessel glass and windows. His new technique was well suited to the vividly coloured, naturalistic decoration fashionable from the 1840s.
