Description
|
Sèvres cup and saucers (Gobelet Bouillard et soucoupe) the main body painted with a gilded brick pattern, with alternate bricks being tooled to create this rich and elegant contrasting pattern. The borders are painted with tiny 'fond Taillandier' blue dots, which are in between a gold leaf meander pattern. The centre of the saucer mirrors the leaf meander.
The grounds that often accompanied this type of decoration were painted by Vincent Taillandier or his wife, Geneviève. These were in the form of tiny dots or circles in various different colours, which are known as fond Taillandier. Taillandier is accredited with the creation of this design.
I have another cup and saucer.
Cup 6cm High
Saucer 13.5cm Dia.
