    _________________________________
    * Crystallo-ceramics is a glass decoration technique created towards the end of the 18th century. It consists of including a ceramic cameo in a crystal object that has been molded and then finely chased by hand (Cf ProAntic).
    ** Under the Restoration, the cameo craze was in full swing. Barthélemy Despréz, established in rue des Récollets around 1793, specialized in the manufacture of crystal-encrusted porcelain cameos, which he sold to other porcelain merchants (such as the Darte brothers). Before founding his own factory, Despréz had been first sculptor and then head of pastes at the Sèvres factory, which he left around 1792. Active 1780-1806.
    Frame: 12.4 cm x 12.6 cm
