Artist biography

Saint-Porchaire

A French factory certainly active before 1542 and the probable source of a highly individual type of lead-glazed earthenware. These pieces are decorative objects of finely grained off-white paste with intricate inlaid patterns of strapwork made by impressing the clay with metal punches and filling the cavities with clays of contrasting colors, red, yellow and brown; they are covered with a transparent lead glaze.

Provenance

Baron Gustave de Rothschild. Baron Robert de Rothschild, paris. (Rosenberg & Stiebel, Inc., New York).
