"Beautiful Giant Cache Pot, In “longchamp” Barbotine “art Nouveau” Style, With Peony Flowers "
With a superb glaze and an assertive relief, this remarkable giant "Cache Pot" with its undulating and pot-bellied movement is representative of the beautiful and unique in their quality slips made in the Workshops of the Longchamp Manufacture. This exceptional large piece, typical of Art Nouveau from the end of the 19th century to the very beginning of the 20th century, is a rare piece in this new condition and has a prodigious decor. The abundant and generous peony flowers from pale pink to red offer us relief and virtuosity both in the material and in the color, the design is not left out nor the perfect enamelling of a thick and applied glaze. A lot of candor for this very successful piece, generous in its size and shape, preserved by time, having not suffered from use, this unique piece of decoration has a high decorative value. The tuqupise enameled interior is perfect like the whole piece... Not a shock, no scuffs or cracks, a miracle of more than 120 years which has the freshness of its young years, that of carelessness and the cult of the beauty of the nature that sensitive man reproduces for our greatest joy. A perfect piece of the know-how of this blessed period and the work of the Longchamp Artists. Well done for passing on so many beauties to us
