Earthenware with
printed decoration
754-1869
This vase was bought from Paris 1867 Exhibition at which Mons. Mace, an obscure figure, showed "porcelain and earthenware decorated by chromolithographic processes". This technique excited attention and probably led to the Museum purchasing the vase as part of its policy to bring new technical and artistic developments to the attention of British manufacturers. Leon Arnoux, in his exhibition report said, "Mr. Mace has perfected as far as possible his chromo-lithographic process ... it requires close inspection to perceive that his porcelain is not painted by an experienced hand". |
