Collinot made ceramics in 'Persian' and other 'oriental' styles In 1859, with Adalbert de Beaumont, he had published a volume of designs taken from Far Eastern, Venetian and Islamic sources. These vases show him using Japanese and Chinese motifs, both highly fashionable design sources in the 1860s. |
