Height: 75 mm (2.95 in). Author: Turkey Unknown.Tray 8th century China Combinations of white, amber, and green glazes, typically known as sancai or three-colored” wares, were first developed in China in the late seventh century, and were used primarily for funerary goods. The bright colors, clear tones, and superior bonding power of this technique were achieved by firing twice, first at high temperature to achieve a hard pottery body, and then at low temperature, after the glazes were applied, to bring out the vibrant colors. The shape and medallion decor of this tray were derived from metalwork prototypes. The deep, intaglio lines of the floral patterns, impressed onto the surface of the still-soft clay by stamps, helped to contain the glaze in the intended areas. The pearl-like white spots on the rim were created by the use of wax or clay resists, a technique commonly employed in dyed textiles.. Tray 44348Plate 18th-19th century.

The opaque white glaze concealed the clay body, which could range from pale buff to brick red, allowing for brilliant effects created by painting the white surface with metal oxides that fired to a range of colors. This technique, as well as the use of metallic lusteran iridescent, coppery painted glazespread throughout the Muslim world, arriving among the potters of Valencia in the thirteenth century. The so-called Hispano-Moresque lusterware, with its fusion of Islamic and Gothic styles and motifs, often in shaped imitating those of metal vessels, was treasured by the elite in Spain during the fifteenth century and exported to the courts of Europe.

Technological improvements to optical scientific instruments in the mid-nineteenth century spurred a veritable obsession across Europe with identifying and classifying the natural world. Amateur botanists were eager to collect and preserve floral specimens, which they intently researched and catalogued. In response to this broad appeal, French glassmakers made paperweights that portrayed the very botanical subjects that were so enthusiastically sought. Many weights represented specimens with horticultural correctness, but others were entirely fanciful creations. Paperweights like this example speak to the periodís fascination with taxonomic systems.From the late 1840s to early 1860s, French manufacturers of fine glass and crystalósuch as Baccarat (Alsace), Clichy (Paris), and Saint-Louis (Lorraine)ócatered to the vast public enthusiasm for beautiful yet functional desk accessories.
