Japanese Aquatic Landscape, Vase Signed By Goldsmith Léopold Oudry

Beautiful basin or flowerpot, inspired by Japanese aesthetics, and also by their technique, to the extent that metal, an alloy of copper and various metals, gilt, resembles the famous Japanese Shibuichi. Fortunately the French artist signed the base:
“Léopold Oudry (French goldsmith, mid to late 19th century). Oudry founded his workshop on the outskirts of Paris in Auteuil. Known for his vases and statues cast in copper and gold, he also worked with Charles Christofle. Oudry participated in the Universal Exhibitions in Paris, and won medals in 1855. In 1862, Oudry presented his creations at the Universal Exhibition in London. Under Napoleon III Oudry also worked to beautify and preserve numerous monuments in and around Paris using his copper plating technique, including the fountains of Place de la Concorde. »
