Jardinière 1885 - 1895

"Jardinière," a ceramic pot created by Ernest Chaplet between 1885 and 1895, showcases the artist's mastery of glaze techniques. The deep, glossy black glaze, reminiscent of traditional Chinese ceramics, covers the rounded form of the vessel. The pot's simple elegance and subtle variations in the glaze create a visually captivating piece, exemplifying Chaplet's exploration of artistic expression through ceramic form. This object is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
