Description
Porcelaine Française du XVIIIe siècle, de A. Faÿ-Hallé et C. Lahaussois, Ed. Massin, 19 cm x 24 cm, relié avec 192 pages couleurs
Ce livre de 192 pages couleurs largement illustré retrace l'histoire de la porcelaine française depuis le XVIIIe siècle avec les fameuses manufactures de porcelaine tendre puis de porcelaine dure.
La porcelaine de Chine, blanche et translucide, a connu en Europe un engouement extraordinaire dès la Renaissance. Les princes voulaient en posséder, les céramistes voulaient en fabriquer. En Italie au XVIe siècle, puis en France au XVIIe siècle, ils inventèrent une admirable «porcelaine tendre» à laquelle au XVIIIe siècle, la manufacture royale de Sèvres confiera un éclat inégalable. Le kaolin, indispensable pour fabriquer la «porcelaine dure», fut découvert dans le limousin en 1768. Les manufactures se multiplièrent alors, surtout à Paris.
Cet ouvrage raconte cette passionnante histoire. Son abondante illustration montre les étapes de la création, les inventions artistiques étonnantes de ces céramistes qui ont imaginé les innombrables métiers nécessaires à la fabrication de la porcelaine. Les décorateurs contemporains remettent sans cesse au goût du jour leurs innovations.
Dans cet ouvrage figurent près de 1000 signatures et marques des porcelaines françaises du XVIIIe siècle.
