Untitled work

FAUQUEZ (manufacture) — 2nd half 18th Century

Description

Fontaine d'applique piriforme et côtelée, selon un modèle habituel à Rouen, en faïence stannifère de grand feu. Le couvercle dissimule des dauphins se faisant face supportant de leur queue une coquille. La panse est décorée d'un bouquet de fleurs fines en camaïeu bleu, encadré par un galon à écailles autour duquel court un motif de dentelle en rehauts blancs ménageant des cartels où s'épanouissent bouquets annexes et fleurettes. Les bords du pied de la fontaine sont soulignés de fleurs blanches au feuillage bleu. Email gris-bleuté. Munie d'un robinet en laiton qu'entoure une coquille. Le bassin, du même décor, présente, en outre, des mascarons en forme de visages féminins. Le Musée de Mons en Belgique conserve un exemplaire très proche (inv.765), mais dont le couvercle et le bassin sont absents. Il présente de petites variantes, à savoir, la présence des queues des dauphins couronnant l'ensemble, et des bouquets de part et d'autre du robinet.
