Culture: French, Sèvres. Designer: Jean-Claude Duplessis (French, ca. 1695-1774, active 1748-74). Dimensions: Height: 15 in. (38.1 cm). Factory: Sèvres Manufactory (French, 1740-present). Date: ca. 1757.This remarkable Sèvres porcelain elephant-head vase is one of six in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, four of which were given by Charles and Jayne Wrightsman. Presumably due to the technical challenges and cost of making these vases, relatively few were produced at Sèvres, all which date to the years around 1760; nineteen examples are known in public collections today.1The mate to this vase is at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire. The decoration on the Waddesdon vase is extremely similar, though its spiraling decoration twists to the right to complement the left-twisting decoration on the Wrightsman vase. The undersides of both vases are painted with green and gold bands, presumably intended to disguise firing flaws in the base of each.19Double moon flask ca. 1870s Worcester factory After the end of the Flight, Barr & Barr ownership of the Worcester factory in 1840, the firm went through a succession of owners and mergers before falling under the ownership of Kerr & Binns in 1852. During the partnership, the factory sought to rebuild its former eighteenth-century reputation in porcelain and known for Renaissance-inspired designs. With the establishment of the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company in 1862, the company gradually gained recognition for its Japanese-inspired designs, which formed part of Japonisme, a collective fascination with Japan that took place in Europe and the United States following the opening of Japanese markets to the West by Commodore Perry in 1853..

This kakiemon-type jar with plum design is a product made for the European markets. Here, Japanese kakiemon potters transformed the typical plum, bamboo, and pine motifs into a theme appreciating the plum. The 9th-century Japanese scholar and politician Sugawara Michizane established the plum as a symbol of scholarship. An excellent poet, particularly of Chinese-style poetry, he was also well known for his love of plum blossoms. Later, the plum came to represent tenmangu, a shrine for Sugawara.Czarka with the Cave; 19th century (1790-00-00-1810-00-00);. .Vase with Design of Narihira Approaching Mount Fuji from "Tales of Ise".

Current scholarship, however, prefers the term tughrakes-, or "tughrailluminator" style for such decoration, comparing its design to the fine swirling vines adorning tughra calligraphies. During this period, pottery shapes often imitated metalwork forms. This piece, however, emulates glass mosque lamps, which often displayed Arabic inscriptions..

CeramicsBeaker vase (part of an assembled garniture) ca. 1690-1720 Japanese, for export market (Hizen ware, Imari type) Japanese porcelain vases made for export were avidly sought by aristocratic and royal patrons to decorate their stately homes and palaces in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. While Chinese porcelains were exported to Europe and Britain in larger quantities during this period, Japanese porcelains were prized for their boldly patterned and richly colored decoration. The popularity of works such as these changed European taste for Asian porcelain, with a more vivid palette preferred over the blue and white decoration which once defined imported porcelains..
