"Paris Porcelain Plate With Snow Decor - Early 19th Century"
White background with polychrome decoration representing a snowy landscape. To the left on a hill, a rustic-style stone house, with snow-covered roofs. Bare trees confirm the winter season. In the foreground, a couple (probably peasants or villagers) walk in the snow, while their child is installed in a small sled that he slides with the help of a stick. Wide golden lines on the fall and on the edge.Dimension(s): Diam. 22 cm,Condition(s): PERFECT CONDITION,Era: EARLY 19TH CENTURY.Snow landscapes are rare on Paris porcelain at the beginning of the 19th century. They do not correspond to the classical decorations of the time, nor to decorative uses, which favor bucolic, idealized and colorful scenes.Moreover, this type of decoration requires mastery of subtle plays of whites, grays, cold blues and shadows. This requires great finesse of execution, as well as a desire to play on very soft or low-contrast tones, which goes against the more vibrant and colorful tastes in vogue in Parisian porcelain of this period.PAYMENT and TRANSPORTPAYMENTS ACCEPTED BANK TRANSFER / PAYPAL / BANK TRANSFER / CB online or by CHECK.PARCELS WILL BE POSTED WITHIN 4 DAYS.
