On a slightly bluish and crackled white background, a decoration of tulips, saz palms, and carnations unfolds, borrowed from the \u003cstrong\u003erepertoire of Iznik earthenware\u003c\/strong\u003e. The palette, dominated by blues, turquoise, green, and red, is characteristic of this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eold earthenware tile\u003c\/strong\u003e with a very similar decoration is reproduced by Rodolphe Pfnor in his \u003cem\u003eOrnementation usuelle de toutes les époques dans les arts industriels et en architecture\u003c\/em\u003e (1866-1867, vol. I). It is described there as belonging to the \"collection of M. Jean, painter-ceramist,\" testifying to Auguste Jean's interest in the arts of the Near and Middle East. However, the artist does not merely faithfully reproduce the model: he transposes the decoration from a tile to a dish, simplifies its composition, and adapts its scale to suit this new medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reveals an unknown facet of the artist's production. Far from his famous neo-Renaissance inspired blue-ground earthenware, it illustrates his interest in \u003cstrong\u003eorientalism\u003c\/strong\u003e, to which many French ceramists were then drawn. Like Théodore Deck or Eugène Collinot, Auguste Jean thus participates in the \u003cstrong\u003eeclectic movement\u003c\/strong\u003e that revitalized French artistic earthenware in the second half of the 19th century, while offering here a personal interpretation of the Iznik decorative repertoire.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54497779450197,"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-plat-assiette-style-persan-faience-emaillee-fleurs-1.png?v=1785392023","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/plat-orientalisant-faience-iznik-ottoman","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
