PORCELAIN VICTORIAN ARTIST ANTON BOULLEMIER:
SIGNED HAND PAINTED FIGURE STUDY FAIRY CHILD
ON A STAFFORDSHIRE MINTON PLATE
C.1872
"This delicate hand
decorated cabinet piece was painted by talented Mintons ceramic
artist Anton Boullemier around 1872 on a Mintons bone china
porcelain blank/plate. The subject matter Fairy Child is
characteristic of Boullemier's popular, decorative, figure studies
of cupid like children. Later as a freelance studio artist Anton
Boullemier also decorated some of Brown-Westhead, Moore's most
prestigious exhibition pieces."Antiques Expert Hamilton

Boullemier left his native France in 1872 to work at Mintons at
the invitation of M.L. Solon. Unquestionably one of the finest of
the Victorian ceramic artists - Boullemier worked on many of
Mintons' finest commissions including work for Royalty. Examples
are illustrated in Victorian Porcelain by Geoffrey A.
Godden plates 43,44 and 47.
Dimensions: width 225
mm max.
Marks: Signed by the
artist, A. Boullemier to front, Minton mark to back as
illustrated.
Condition: In excellent
display condition. Condition report: No damage, chips or
restoration. No discernible significant wear to painted decoration
or gilded rim. Clear fine crazing to glaze - visible under large
magnification. Fairly typical and not really a problem: a product
of the number of firings needed to decorate the piece. It does not
spoil the attractiveness and enjoyment of this beautiful cabinet
plate.
