EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Jug from Clermont-Ferrand, France, 18th Century: A Chromolithograph Depicting a Decorative Jug with an Inscription and Escutcheon 2. Description: This chromolithograph, hand-finished by Ris Paquots, showcases an exquisite jug from Clermont-Ferrand, France, dating back to the 18th century. The jug, adorned with an escutcheon, intricate foliage, and an inscription, is a stunning representation of the rich artistic heritage of French pottery. 3. Background: Clermont-Ferrand, a city located in the Auvergne region of central France, was renowned for its fine pottery during the 18th century. The city's potters produced a wide range of ceramics, including jugs, ewers, and pitchers, which were highly sought after for their intricate designs and high-quality glazes. 4. Detailed Description: In this particular chromolithograph, the jug is depicted with an escutcheon bearing the arms of Rossignol, Intendant of Auvergne, and Peyrot, Trezorier (Treasurer) of the Lordre. The jug's body is adorned with lush foliage, including acanthus leaves and roses, which are common motifs in 18th-century French pottery. The jug's neck is graced with an elegant inscription, "Convalescence de M. Rossignol Intendant d'Auvergne, M. Peyrot Trezorier de Lordre," which translates to "Recovery of M. Rossignol, Intendant of Auvergne, and M. Peyrot, Treasurer of the Lordre." The inscription suggests that the jug was a gift or a commemorative piece marking a recovery or an achievement. 5. Significance: This chromolithograph not only offers a glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of 18th-century French pottery but also serves as a testament to the importance of Clermont-Ferrand as a center for ceramic production during this period. The intricate design elements, such as the escutcheon, foliage, and inscription, make this jug a valuable piece of historical and artistic significance.
