Drawing, Design for a Jardinière
This is a Drawing. It was possibly by Amédée de Caranza and manufactured by Vieillard & Cie.. It is dated 1875–85 and we acquired it in 2010. Its medium is brush and watercolor, gouache, graphite on white wove paper, lined. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
The late 19th century saw an outpouring of new interest in an ancient media: ceramics. Imported Asian porcelains were widely admired, and many manufacturers competed by creating designs that borrowed Japanese motifs. This design for a jardinière made by Vieillard & Cie. combines an iconic blue and white diaper-patterned ground with naturalistic plum blossoms. The imitative tortoiseshell mount and gourd-shaped feet also echo motifs popular in Japanese porcelain.
