Brocca

Francia, Saint-Porchaire o Parigi

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544

Questa brocca è uno degli esempi più grandi e straordinari di ceramica bianca cotta a bassa temperatura eseguita in Francia intorno alla metà del Cinquecento. Noto come ceramica di Saint-Porchaire, questo gruppo di oggetti elaborati e spesso impreziositi da dettagli architettonici si distingue per gli inserti di argilla colorata dai complessi disegni intrecciati all’interno della struttura di terracotta. Si riteneva che venissero eseguiti nella cittadina di Saint-Porchaire nella Francia occidentale, ma la raffinatezza tecnica e i motivi sembrano suggerire un’origine parigina.
