Description

A large krater-form vase with maritime motifs Brass, tin, aventurine lacquer, polychrome oil lacquer, gilding, mother-of-pearl, faceted glass. A vase and cover made from numerous separately worked pieces. Krater-form vase with snake handles issuing from dragon's heads on a shallow square plinth. The neck with a glass set ring, the rounded body painted with tobacco leaves. Both sides with depictions of a steamship and a three-master in large oval reserves inscribed "ANTWERPEN 1855" and "DOOR I.B. BREUGELMANS". The domed lid with a large pine cone finial, pierced border and six mother-of-pearl bird appliques set into the black lacquer. H 82.5, D 44 cm. Decor attributed to Japan, Nagasaki school, 1855, presumably commissioned by a patron from Antwerp. The Stobwasser manufactory in Berlin was already offering similarly large decorative vases in around 1820, as demonstrated by the krater-form vase on a plinth in the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin (inv. no. II 72/797 D). However, the north German manufactory never used tortoiseshell appliques or aventurine lacquer. The Parisian Martin manufactory did utilise these techniques, inspired by Japanese models, in the period after 1727 when Guillaume and Etienne-Simon Martin combined their workshops. The demise of the Ancien Regime marked the end of the demand for such sumptuous lacquered items and knowledge of the techniques also disappeared along with the closing of the workshops. It was only in the mid-19th century when products began to be imported from the Asian colonies that the interest in unusual lacquers was renewed. Provenance Private collection, Copenhagen. Literature Cf. Richter, Stobwasser Lackkunst aus Braunschweig und Berlin, vol. I, Munich-Berlin 2006, no. 154. For more on furniture with mother-of-pearl inlays, cf.: Möller, Schimmern aus der Tiefe Muscheln Perlen Nautilus, Petersberg 2013, cat. no. 219 ff. Große Kratervase mit Marinedarstellungen Messing, (Weiß?)blech, Aventurinlack, polychromer Öl-Lackdekor, Vergoldung, Perlmutt, facettiertes Glas. Aus zahlreichen Teilen gearbeitete Deckelvase auf niedriger quadratischer Plinthe, zwei Bügelgriffe in Schlangenform über plastischen Drachenköpfen. Um den Schaft eine mit Glas besetzte Manschette, der gebauchte Wandungsanstieg bemalt mit Tabakblättern. Auf beiden Wandungsseiten in großen Ovalreserven Darstellungen von Schiffen, ein Raddampfer und ein Dreimaster mit holländischer Flagge, bezeichnet "ANTWERPEN 1855" und "DOOR I.B. BREUGELMANS". Gestufter Haubendeckel mit großem Zapfenknauf und gelochtem Rand. Umlaufend sechs Vogeldarstellungen aus Perlmutt, in den schwarzen Lack eingelegt. H 82,5, D 44 cm. Der Dekor Japan, Schule von Nagasaki, zugeschrieben, 1855, wohl im Auftrag eines Antwerpener Bestellers. Die Manufaktur Stobwasser in Berlin bot um 1820 bereits ähnlich große Dekorationsobjekte an, wie die Kratervase auf Sockel in der Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin (Inv.Nr. II 72/797 D) belegt. Allerdings verwendete die norddeutsche Manufaktur keine Intarsien aus Schildpatt und auch keinen Aventurinlack. Die Pariser Manufaktur der Martin hingegen konnte diese Techniken nach japanischem Vorbild wohl schon in der Periode nach 1727 anbieten, als Guillaume und Etienne-Simon Martin ihre Werkstätten zusammenlegten. Mit dem Ende des ancien régime verschwand die Nachfrage nach solch prachtvollen Lackarbeiten und, nach dem Schließen der Werkstätten, auch die Kenntnisse um die Herstellung. Erst die importierten Produkte aus den asiatischen Kolonien sorgten ab der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts für ein wieder anwachsendes Interesse an ausgefallenen Lacken. Provenienz Kopenhagener Privatsammlung. Literatur Vgl. Richter, Stobwasser Lackkunst aus Braunschweig und Berlin, Bd. I, München-Berlin 2006, Nr. 154. Zu Möbeln mit Perlmuttintarsien s.a. Möller, Schimmern aus der Tiefe Muscheln Perlen Nautilus, Petersberg 2013, Kat. Nr. 219 ff.
