This was purchased from Collinot after inclusion in the Paris 1867 Exhibition, where he was awarded a silver medal. His interests included both Middle and Far Eastern design and architecture, and with Adalbert de Beaumont he published, as one of a series, Ornements du Japon (1883), a handbook for students containing Japanese motifs similar to those on this panel. Collinot was singled out in the British and French reports on the 1867 Exhibition, the French reporter commenting that 'for the reproduction of Oriental faience M. Collinot is second to none'. |
