| book description |
Despite its name suggesting otherwise, the Vase Japon is an interpretation of a Chinese bronze. Its design and decoration derive from a woodblock print of a Yu (or Hu) vase from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). The print was published in a 40-volume catalogue of the vast Chinese imperial collections compiled between 1749 and 1751 at the behest of the Qianlong emperor. Around 1767, a copy of this catalogue was sent to Henri Bertin, France’s secretary of state and commissaire du roi at the Sèvres factory. The Vase Japon was made in 1774 along with two other vases of the same size, shape, and decoration. Each bears the mark of the gilder-painter Jean-Armand Fallot (act. 1764−90). Of the three only this example is adorned with a silver-gilt handle and chain, which, like its shape and surface pattern, are directly inspired by the Chinese model. The mounts bear the mark of Charles Ouizille, who, in 1784, became the official jeweller of Louis XVI.
