Lot Essay
This vase appears to be the pair to another in the Detroit Institute of Arts (museum no. 1990.14), where the decoration is attributed to Henri-Lucien Lambert, who was a painter active at Sèvres from 1859 until 1899, and to Charles Ouint, a gilder at the manufactory, active between 1879 and 1890. The vase shape was designed by Jules-Constant Peyre.
The Detroit vase, like the present lot, is dated 1881-82. It was sold in 1988 at public auction in Rome, and from 1988-90, it was with Gallery Dragesco-Cramoisan, Paris, from whom it was purchased in 1990 by the Detroit Institute of Arts (see 'Selected recent acquisitions', Bulletin of the DIA 66, no. 4, 1991, p. 51 (ill.). The Detroit vase is recorded as mentioned in the Manufacture National de Sèvres Archives: Registre Vr' 1ère serie, no. 3, folio 377, and Registres Vj' 85 folio 15, Vj' 86, folio 13 et eq., Vj' 87 folio 13 et sq.
