AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful cachepot vase decorated with the model "Fou-Tchéou" by Bernardaud & Cie. Limoges.
The decoration named "Fou-Tchéou" is famous for its refined style that evokes the aesthetics of the "Chinoiseries" of the eighteenth century. The name refers to the Chinese city of Fuzhou (historically transliterated as Fou-Tchéou), an important port for the trade of porcelain and silk. The decoration fits into the lineage of exotic botanical fantasies that fascinated eighteenth-century Europe, reinterpreted with Bernardaud's contemporary technical precision.
In excellent condition, without defects.
Measurements 18x18 cm
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
