Note du spécialiste

Although unsigned, this beautifully painted ewer clearly emanates from the workshop of Pierre Reymond, one of the most celebrated enamellers of Limoges. It is closely related to a number of other ewers painted in grisailles, including a similar example signed 'PR' in the Louvre (S. Baratte, Les émaux peints de Limoges, Paris, 2000, p. 204). The present ewer is decorated with a coat of arms flanked by the initials 'P' and 'L' which has not yet been identified. The composition of the Triumph is derived - in slightly simplified form - from a Projet de Bassin, executed circa 1546 by Jacques Androuet du Cerceau.
