Barbotine Center Pot

You are looking at the "rolls royce of French majolica". Barbotine is a is a technique of pottery decoration involving the application of a slip to the pot, not in an even layer but in the form of thick incrustations in patches or trails. This beautiful center pot (cachepot) is in excellent condition and the coloring is stunning. It is from the Paris school Auteuil, circa 1885. It could have been done by either Edouard Gilles ou Jean Pointu, both Impressionist barbotine artists.
