Maastricht .Plate ca. 1725-30 French, Rouen Faience, or tin-glazed and enameled earthenware, first emerged in France during the sixteenth century, reaching widespread usage among elite patrons during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, prior to the establishment of soft-paste porcelain factories. Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addition of tin oxidPlate, painted multi-colored with a weapon on the flat with bird or duck as a helmet mark.

This rosette has been inlaid with pieces of red jasper, faience, and glass in a technique called cloisonné. According to a note on the accession card, Howard Carter said that it was purchased by Theodore M. Davis from one of the men who funded excavations in KV 42 in the Valley of the Kings. While Carter was Chief Inspector of Antiquities for Upper Egypt, he had overseen the excavation of this tomb. In his report on the work, Carter mentions the rosette which he thought might be the bottom part of a menat or counterpoise for a ceremonial necklace. Although this is possible, it may be an element for another type of jewelry.For more information on KV 42 and the objects found there, see the curatorial interpretation below. View more.

Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg.The overall opulence of imperial Russian attire is evident in this small perfume bottle case.
