EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from a pair of vases titled "Les alteres y les frileux" created by Mintons Ltd in 1879. Standing at an impressive height of 42.5 cm, these olive-brown pate-sur-pate vases are truly works of art. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of these vases. Adorned with gilt Prince of Wales feather marks for the 1878 Paris Universelle Exposition and impressed uppercase marks, they exude elegance and sophistication. The bases also feature impressed shape numbers and are signed by the talented artist L. (ouis) Solon in 1879. The baluster form design is complemented by exquisite details such as rope-twist handles enriched with gilt and platinum accents, featuring bearded Bacchic head terminals. The white slip painting technique brings to life scenes of putti gathering around altars, either filling their amphorae with wine or seeking warmth from the fire. On the obverse side, you'll find either a tree adorned with upturned amphorae or putti huddled around a brazier. The neck and lower-body display stylized floral forms in polychrome slip, adding another layer of beauty to these already ornate vases. This print captures all the intricate details that make this pair of vases so remarkable. It serves as a testament to Mintons Ltd's mastery in ceramics and decorative arts during their time.
