Gold nets on the waterfall and on the edge.Dimension(s): Diam. 22.3 cm,Condition(s): PERFECT CONDITION,Period: DIRECTOIRE / CONSULATESnow 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 the decorative uses, which favor bucolic, idealized and colorful scenes. In addition, 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.
