MINIATURE CERAMIC SERVICE WITH DUTCH GENRE SCENES.
Date: Ca. 1890/1900.
Maker/Designer: Lorraine, Sarreguemin.
Technique: Light-coloured body with light glaze, painted red under glaze.
Measurement: Height of the bowl and lid 14cm.
Mark: At the bottoms inscribed 'Calvados U & Sarreguemines'. Partly inscribed 'Sarreguemines' and illegible monogram.
Provenance:
- Private collection Bavaria
Ceramics had been produced in Saargemünd for centuries. Around 1900, there was a flourishing market for doll's sets all over Europe, which was mainly served by small French manufacturers in addition to those in Thuringia. After the First World War, the production of dolls' tableware in France came to a standstill, as there were few export opportunities. The tableware decorated with Dutch genre scenes in red transfer print is exceptionally extensive. The technique of transfer printing was developed in England as early as the 18th century. The motifs were applied to engraved or etched printing plates and painted with ceramic colours. They were then printed on silk paper, which was then transferred to earthenware, faience or porcelain while it was still wet. This was followed by the firing process.
