While this research was primarily implemented in his glass production, the artist also sought to experiment with its possibilities on ceramics. This dish is a \u003cstrong\u003eparticularly remarkable testimony\u003c\/strong\u003e to this: the metallic and iridescent effects are not limited to certain elements of the decor, but here cover the entire obverse, creating a singular surface effect that profoundly renews the appearance of the earthenware, \u003cstrong\u003ebringing it closer to the look of metal\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnique in the production of Auguste Jean \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eknown to date\u003cspan\u003e, this work thus constitutes a particularly precious testimony to the technical research conducted by the artist regarding metallization and its transposition from glassmaking to ceramics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcquired in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1882\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, during the lifetime of Auguste Jean and directly from the artist, for the collections of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMusée des Arts et Métiers (CNAM)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, this dish further testifies to the interest shown in his research and creations as soon as they were produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55154229707093,"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-ceramique-metallisee-portrait-neo-renaissance-bleu-cnam-1.png?v=1790764298","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/plat-renaissance-bleu-metallise-cnam","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
