EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a pair of exquisite flower vases, one from Persia and the other from Malta, intricately decorated with vibrant blossoms. The Persian vase, hailing from the ancient civilization of Iran, displays a rich, intricate design of Persian flowers, such as roses, tulips, and carnations, against a backdrop of geometric patterns and calligraphy. The Maltese vase, on the other hand, boasts a more simplistic yet equally charming design, adorned with delicate Maltese crosses and a cascade of roses and lilies. This stunning depiction is a hand-finished chromolithograph, a technique that involves the transfer of an image from a lithographic stone to a plate, which is then printed using multiple colors. The process results in a rich, vibrant image with intricate detail, as evidenced by the lifelike quality of the flowers and the ornate patterns on the vases. This image is taken from "Histoire générale de la faïence ancienne française et étrangère," a comprehensive work on ancient French and foreign glazed pottery, published by Ris Paquot in Paris in 1874. The work provides a detailed and accurate record of the history and artistry of ceramics from various regions, making this image not only an aesthetic delight but also an important historical document.
