"Pitcher-anthropomorphic Monkey-jacob Petit-sèvres-19th"
Sèvres porcelain, anthropomorphic mockery of an 18th century aristocrat, pitcher in the shape of a monkey. Jacob Petit (1797-1868), was one of the greatest French ceramists, far ahead of his time, due to the originality of his creations. This figurine richly decorated with gold is very representative of his art. She underwent some restorations, in particular of an arm and a broken leg, made by a ceramist, which leaves very light traces almost invisible. Signed under the base 18 cm x 12 cm Very beautiful object
