One of a Pair of Vases, Jules-Auguste Habert-Dys, circa 1878

In about 1872, charles haviland, the limoges porcelain manufacturer, opened his auteuil studio in paris. Under the direction of félix bracquemond, the etcher and friend of the impressionist painters, the auteuil studio briefly produced "barbotine" wares, which combined an impressionistic handling of colors with elements of japanese design, all rendered by hand. Jules-auguste habert-dys (1850-1927) produced these vases in the barbotine style. Date: circa 1878. Place of creation: Paris, France. Dimensions: 28 × 24.5 × 9.5 cm (11 × 9.6 × 3.7 in). Medium: earthenware with glaze. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Jules-Auguste Habert-Dys - One of a Pair of Vases - Walters 482743 - Three Quarter
