Source Description

Naudot contributed to the revival of soft-paste, or artificial, porcelain, a medium that had been abandoned at the time of the French Revolution (1789-99). In conjunction with the porcelain, he used "plique-à-jour," or openwork enamel. The refined, balanced design of these bowls contrasts with the organic, curvilinear style of Art Nouveau practiced elsewhere at this time.
