From then until about 1765 he was the most fashionable silversmith in Paris, with a workshop of more than one hundred craftsmen executing commissions for the courts of France, Portugal, and Russia. This coffeepot is one of six made as part of a large table service ordered in 1756 by Joseph I of Portugal. With this masterful Rococo design Germain created an extraordinary impression of movement and surface brilliance through the spiral channeling of the body, the scrolled and foliate legs and feet, and the swirl of coffee leaves and berries at the base of the handle..

Vase 9512Vase with handles ca. 1882 Christopher Dresser British designer Christopher Dressers fascination with foreign cultures is evident in the designs he produced for Linthrope Art Pottery. John Harrison, owner of the Sun Brick Works, began Linthorpe in 1879 as a charitable endeavor intended to provide jobs for the vast number of unemployed in the impoverished region of North Yorkshire. Dressers interest in Japanese design appears in many of models and unique glazes he developed for Linthorpe, The honey-colored glaze on this large vase, deliberately poured in uneven layers, would have reminded contemporary viewers of Japanese ceramics. Apparently, Linthorpe was also popular among Japanese officers visiting England. Sailing on the Tees River in North England to deliver cargo, they purchased the affordable wares and took them back to Japan.
