Charles Christophe Windisch
Large bowl
Porcelain glazed, bisque and gilded
Dimensions : H. 27 ; D. 24,5 (cm.)
Paris or Brussels circa 1810 - 1820
An important and fine openwork bowl, probably part of an ensemble, resting on a tripod base decorated with palmettes. The flared bowl, with its leafy underside, is supported by three cherubs. The gilding, glaze and cookie alternates to great effect.
Charles Christophe Windisch, from rue de la Roquette to the Royal Manufactory of Ixelles
A talented draftsman as well as a chemist, he was responsible for the preparatory design of this bowl, as well as another that we will soon be offering for sale. The white was most probably produced in the family's factory at 102 rue de la Roquette. The dating of the model is quite precise: it may have been produced entirely in Paris after the 1810s, or produced in Paris and then decorated in Brussels before 1830 and the break-up of the partnership between C C Windisch and Faber. In 1824, these two great names founded a highly talented factory in Ixelles, which soon won a royal privilege.
Notes :
Preparatory drawings in private hands
For a similar bowl, see the Demeuldre collection, successor to the Ixelles factory.
Condition report: good condition, one repair to the gilding, one repair to the wings (both can be professionally restored)
