About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Large and flamboyant ceramic table centerpiece; the shape, full of soft curves and rounded ends, fascinates us for its incomparable and elegant plasticity and lightness, while the bright colors make it very showy; the centerpiece has been designed with extraordinary care and intelligence building it hollow internally to give it more volume and then proceed to its beautiful colored finish. Still raw, but baked a first time, they painted it with a black opaque varnish with the technique of immersion, then it was put in the oven at about 1000 ° to stop the color, once cooled, a craftsman painter has applied by hand strokes of bright enamel colors, then the whole was annealed to fix the entire enameling. It was made between 1950 and 1955 by the famous Longwy ceramics factory in France as can be certified by the mark on the bottom. Longwy, a story that began in 1798 in Lorraine when Nothomb and Boch, a surname that will reappear in many other manufactures, opened a ceramics factory in a former convent to which they gave the name of the city in which it was located, a French municipality in the Department of Meurthe and Moselle in the Grand Est region. Its production gained fame after a visit from Emperor Napoleon I, who ordered tableware from Longwy for the imperial houses of the Legion of Honor. In 1835, the d'Huart family became owners of the pottery and made it thrive throughout the 19th century. Around 1870, in the midst of the Orientalist era and to counter the growing imports from Japan and China, the director of the Mikado factories, the Italian Amédée de Carenza, was brought to Longwy and brought with him his exclusive ideas: taking as a model the enamels present in China and Japan, de Carenza imagined their equivalent in ceramics: the first Longwy enamels were born and their fame would grow and for more than a century Longwy had the exclusive rights for enamels on terracotta. The Longwy successfully participated in the 1925 Decorative Arts Exhibition; in the 1931 exhibition, one of their particular vases won a Gold Medal. The Majolica factory began its third century of existence in 1998. Our centerpiece is in excellent condition. Measures diameter cm.43, height cm.10.
