EDITORS COMMENTS
Fonds partiels," or partial background, vases are a stunning example of the intricate and exquisite craftsmanship of soft paste porcelain, as depicted in this Chromolithograph by Gillot from The Soft Paste Porcelain of Sevres, published by Maison Quantin in Paris in 1891. The illustration, created by the skilled hand of Edouard Garnier, showcases a collection of various vases, ewers, pitchers, and bottles, each adorned with intricate floral and pastoral scenes. The vases in this illustration display the "fonds partiel" technique, where the background is left unpainted, allowing the natural color of the porcelain to show through. This technique creates a striking contrast between the detailed, hand-painted designs on the foreground and the simple, unadorned background. The result is a visually captivating piece that highlights the beauty of the porcelain itself. The soft paste porcelain of Sevres is renowned for its high quality and intricate designs, which were inspired by Chinese porcelain and the Rococo style. The Maison Quantin, a leading porcelain manufacturer in Paris, produced these exquisite pieces using a combination of traditional methods and innovative techniques. This Chromolithograph is a testament to the rich history of porcelain and pottery, showcasing the intricate designs and techniques that have captivated collectors and art lovers for centuries. The pastoral scenes depicted on these vessels transport us to a simpler time, evoking a sense of tranquility and beauty. Whether displayed as a work of art or used for functional purposes, these "fonds partiels" vases continue to inspire and delight.
