Rousseau service, Bracquemond 

Tin plates collection inspired by the famous Rousseau Service that can be seen in many museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, the French Musée d'Orsay or thePetit Palais. This service is decorated with a blue comb work on the rim and animals after japonist style Felix Bracquemond's engravings. This service was very successfull since its first presentation in the 1867 Paris's Great Exhibition and became the symbol of the taste fort japonism in the second half of the 19th century. The fabrication process was very original : almost 260 etchings were ordered by Rousseau to Bracquemond. Then the drawing printing in black, following a ternary rythm, was random. The colouring was made freely by craftsmen, thereby each piece was unique.
