Description

Designed by Édouard Lièvre and Émile Reiber, and made by Christofle, this model featuring a blue background decorated with a bird and plum blossoms is representative of Japonisme as it emerged at the end of the 19th century, giving renewed focus to the cloisonné enamelling technique. The top of its tripod legs is made up of plant stems forming a bulb upon which the tabletop sits.
