Moving away from his famous Neo-Renaissance inspired blue-ground earthenware, it testifies to his \u003cstrong\u003einterest in Orientalism\u003c\/strong\u003e, which was then inspiring many French ceramicists. Much like Théodore Deck or Eugène Collinot, Auguste Jean was part of the \u003cstrong\u003eeclectic movement\u003c\/strong\u003e that revitalized French artistic earthenware in the second half of the 19th century. Here, he offers a singular interpretation, combining ornamentation of Eastern inspiration with a color palette and a decorative vocabulary that are uniquely his own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55140666802517,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/5255\/4069\/files\/auguste-jean-jardiniere-musee-sevres-ceramique-faience-orientalisante-fond-bleu-1.png?v=1790691730","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/jardiniere-faience-musee-sevres-orientalisant","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
