Documentation: between 1860 and the beginning of the 20th century, Europe underwent a veritable revolution in the way it looked, thanks to "Japonism". This term referred to the infatuation with everything that came from Japan, imitating its style and manner. This singular fashion, which lasted for almost half a century, spread to all Western countries, including France, which enthusiastically welcomed prints and ceramics by Japanese artists. Art objects arrived in Europe via collectors, but also, and above all, via world fairs.
Circa: 1910
Dim: W:9,5cm, D:9,5cm, H:15,5cm.
Condition report: both vases are in very good condition, with no wear to the polychrome decoration or gilding.
