PORCELAIN VICTORIAN ARTIST ANTON BOULLEMIER: SIGNED
HAND PAINTED FIGURE STUDY FAIRY CHILD -
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 Bear.
References:
Antonin 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.
