This model of covered vase named Duplessis is a tribute to the great ornamentalist Jean-Claude Duplessis (1699 - 1774) who worked for Louis XV and his court in Versailles.
This model created in 1878 in Sarreguemines earthenware was presented at the World Fair of the same year when the rocaille taste knew a remarkable revival. The public, fond of tormented, creeping, vegetable forms is then very attracted by this gallant XVIIIth century which still carries in him the image of a former regime deviated but charming, comfortable and luxurious. This is what these two large creamy white potiches, very fashionable at the end of the 19th century, embody.
Thus Sarreguemines seized this taste to revive the great hours of the Louis XV style in new forms nicely named after the names that marked this golden age of French royalty. These are the forms Louis XV, Pompadour or du Barry and, of course, Duplessis.
Each of our Duplessis potiches from a 1904 edition, in perfect condition, is rightly exceptional by its pedestal setting it in scene and in value. Indeed, if we sometimes find examples of Duplessis covered vases, they are almost never exposed on their pedestals.
