White Porcelain Vegetable Dish 19th Century with Two Handles Signed in Hollow J.P. Jacob Petit, see the photos. Jacob Mardochée, known as Petit (1796-1865) began by studying painting in Gros's studio, then undertook numerous trips to Italy, Switzerland, Germany and England where he settled for several years and studied various industries while painting theater sets. Back in France, around 1830, he published a collection of interior decoration of one hundred plates with models of vases, furniture, pieces of goldsmithery and carpentry where earlier styles are visited, with a preference for Antiquity and the Gothic style. After a short stay in Sèvres, he set up a small workshop in Belleville, then acquired the Baruch Weil porcelain factory in Fontainebleau, which he moved to Avon a few years later. This was one of the most famous factories of the 1830s-1860s, which owed its fame to the choice of rocaille shapes inspired by Saxon porcelain. Highly eclectic, the style of this porcelain maker is characterized by the accumulation of elements from earlier styles. It includes, alone or in combination, the "troubadour" Gothic, the Renaissance, neoclassicism, the Rocaille style and the Far East. The convoluted shapes, the bright polychromy and the abundance of decorative elements contrast with the sobriety inspired by the antique. Criticized or admired in their time, Jacob Petit's production gave rise to numerous imitations by various manufacturers. Authentic pieces bear his mark "JP" in blue or intaglio. Good general condition, several lacks and stars, see photos. Dimensions: Total height: 26 cm, Length handle - handle: 26 cm, Weight: 1965 grs. See other items in my sales. Happy bidding!
