The vase and shallow dish "Le Jardin de Kyoto" by Gien echo the large "Jardin de Kyoto" vase. This large vase, presented to mark the faience factory’s bicentenary in 2021, is a revisited version of a vintage piece dating from the 19th century. These magnificent objects are the result of an admirable process of reinterpretation and adaptation by the factory’s artists and craftsmen. Entirely hand-painted, the vase and shallow dish feature motifs inspired by Asian ceramics, which was very much in vogue in the 19th century. They feature cherry branches and their multitude of flowers. A few butterflies and bees enliven the scene.
"Le Jardin de Kyoto" presents a colourful, bold and dense background, entailing considerable groundwork, in search for colour, fine detail and the utmost dexterity on the part of the Gien painters. These pieces are truly exceptional, the fruit of over 200 years of know-how and expertise.
Since 1821, Gien has been one of the most important manufacturers of faience, white-glazed earthenware with a long tradition. The warm white earthenware is deeply rooted in French and European identity as the choice of nobility for centuries. Organic shapes, radiant colours, motifs steeped in tradition – immerse yourself in the living cultural heritage of Gien.
