The Art Institute has Chagall's "America Windows", which date to 1977. This is probably a detail from those. An art print souvenir from the museum.
Much nicer than your typical reverse painting on glass. Took some practice to paint that thing.
I like the painting, But there's something to the style that doesn't say 18thC to me. Looks like the frame is likely original to it, and that's...
It's nice, but I think 1900 is about as far back as it would go.
Really no good reason to say so, but you might check Kahlo (Germany).
Took me a while, but I see what you're talking about. I think it's just coincidence, not intent. My guess is that the man is guiding a raft.
I think filling one of these things would be more difficult than emptying it. Immersion would be the easiest way.
I'm not thinking of an acid free mat so much as something on the back to separate the print from whatever is closing the frame. Don't know about...
I can't see that being anything other than damage - a manufacturing flaw. Some tool probably hit the piece accidentally while it was still plastic.
It looks very nice. How did you move it? (Don't let Shangas see that mortar and pestle.)
Langley Mills pottery? But only because I once had a pitcher with similar proportions. But then I once has a William Guerin French teapot with...
I asked on the eBay boards. Here's a couple of pics: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Mine was about 5 ¾” tall, the body about 3 5/8” across.
I doubt that it needs to be de-acidified, but who knows. Seriously - clean the glass! Take the print out and clean the glass inside and out....
All I can say is that I had one very similar - flow control handle, strainer inside the mouth, something rattling around inside. I asked about it...
Looks like an engraving to me. Have you taken it out of the frame? Clean glass makes a big difference. Very nice!
1/2 hour? Where did that 1/2 hour go?
If it's Bloch, which seems probable, then it's Czechoslovakian, and that mark in the circle means something un-French.
I think that's DEP in the circle, which likely stands for depose and indicates the piece to be French.
I think yours is the real deal and the other is a copy. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think the one in the eBay link is an imitation with inferior modeling.
