Unlike Brocard, who sometimes verged on pastiche, Auguste Jean \u003cstrong\u003ehere combines an Oriental form with a Japonist decoration\u003c\/strong\u003e, demonstrating the particularly inventive \u003cstrong\u003eeclecticism \u003c\/strong\u003eof the 19th century. With its 16 cm height and somewhat squat proportions, the vase deviates even further from historical models.
