Barbotine Center Pot by Edouard Gilles

H=9 1/8, W~13, D~12

Edouard Gilles owned and operated his shop in Paris from 1870-1880.  He was one of only a few who fabricated, designed, and painted French barbotine.  The forms and their decoration are of an extreme variety.  Few pieces remain in tact today due to the fragility of the relief of decoration.
His period of production, being only 10 years, makes his pieces very rare.  Today, his pieces are extremely difficult to find, particularly the larger ones.
