This cache-pot is extremely rare in the production of the Gien earthenware factory. Nevertheless, this type of object with iridescent decoration is indeed listed in the production of the factory.
We are in the presence of an imposing piece, approximately 35 cm at the widest part of its belly, 28 cm in diameter at the opening and 28 cm in height. The similarity between the height and the opening gives an excellent balance to the silhouette of the piece.
Its immense interest lies in this iridescent decoration. The metallic and moiré aspect was obtained by the addition of a mixture of metallic oxides reduced during firing. The result is astonishing, on a garnet red enameled background imitating metal, a decoration of foliage, chestnut leaves, launches moiré reflections ranging from gold to bronze green depending on the lighting. The creators of Gien express all their art here.
The difficult-to-produce photos have great difficulty in rendering the real visual aspect.
The Gien holographic signature is as unusual as the piece itself. It attests to a production around 1870.
​​​​​There is no hesitation, this exceptional piece must join an interior of great distinction.
