MANUFACTURE DE JACQUES FOURMY (1757 - 1832)
Rare Medici vase decorated with a gold frieze representing women dressed in antique style dancing with a faun around a perfume burner on a background in imitation of tortoiseshell. The neck is decorated with palmettes motifs that are found on the foot, square gilt bronze base. Consulate period (1799 - 1804).
Height : 40 cm - Diameter : 26 cm (Wear)
The tortoiseshell background is used in the manufacture of Sèvre for the first time in 1790, ten years later we find this same decoration on vases "cordelier" delivered for the gallery of Apollo in the castle of Saint-Cloud and in 1803 for the service used by the Emperor in the Palace of Tuileries and named "service tortoiseshell".
From Fourmy's manufacture there remains a porcelain cone vase with a scale background decorated with gold palmettes of a very high quality, dated 1802 (Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers).
Fourmy was not the only one to produce tortoiseshell bottoms, Schoelcher in 1803 rightly praised his, Dihl, Pouyat also made them.
Jacques Fourmy (1757 - 1832) was the son of a potter from Nantes where he managed a porcelain factory. The factory closed in 1790, and he moved to Lorient, then to Paris, rue de la Pépinière, until 1805. Alexandre Brogniart asked him to work for the Sèvres factory, but in 1810, he left Paris to settle in the Vosges in Andenne in the factory of J. Wouters.
