| Place of origin |
This spill vase is in the Gothic revival style and , in design, is resonant of church architecture. The Gothic revival was one of the most enduring and widespread movements of the nineteenth century and extended to decorative art objects as well as buildings.
Very little detail is known of the history of the Deroche firm, which mainly operated as a decorating studio and produced wares in a variety of styles. Although serious essays were produced at Sèvres in the early nineteenth century, it was not until the 1830s that the 'romantic' Gothic style filtered through to the smal;ler porcelian factories of Paris.
