19th-Century Painted Bisque - Lot 128
19th-Century Painted Bisque This vase depicts an elegant woman from the Second Empire, shown full-length, her shoulders covered by an embroidered capeline with a hood and gold tassels, wearing a crinoline and a muff. In a graceful gesture, she reveals her right ankle and ankle boot—a very daring look for the time. The decoration on her clothing, in shades of pastel blue, pink, yellow, and green, is quite refined and is reminiscent of the jar in Figure 38, of which this piece appears to be—smaller in size and less ridiculous—the feminine counterpart. Probably French. Marked on the bottom of the pot and on the handle with the number 47 (the mold number) and on the inside of the lid with the number 2. H 19 cm
