Framed Faience Porcelain Oil-Cruet lithograph c1870 for Eugene Delaroque.

by Delaroque/Ris-Paquot

Gold-framed antique print c1870 of Faience Porcelain.

This beautiful Faience Oil Cruet chromolithograph is by Ris-Paquot in Amiens, for Histoire des Faiences de Rouen, published in Paris circa 1870 by Eugene Delaroque to show all the finest designs of porcelain.

Faience porcelain was the first "soft" porcelain, created in Europe early in the 18th century by Louis Poterat, sieur de Saint-Etienne, a potter of Rouen in France. This beautiful soft coloured, warm milky white translucent earthenware, is traditionally decorated by foliated patterns and floral designs of typical French style, or ornamented by coloured designs in imitation of the old Chinese and Japanese porcelain.

Image size: 275 x 195 mm (11 x 7.75 inches). This lovely lithograph is in fine condition. In a soft-gilt frame it is elegantly framed with a hand-painted bevel-edged window of the soft grey-green conservation mount to compliment the background of the image.
