On Jacob Petit (1796 - 1868):
Jacob Petit (real name Jacob Mardochee) is a 19th century French porcelain maker. Its name remains attached to the originality of its production. Abundant and diverse, once considered to be exuberantly in bad taste, his pieces are today sought after for their originality and the richness of their polychromy. His style has inspired many other Parisian porcelain makers who produced quality works that have nothing to envy to the originals.
