Interprétation des peintures dessinées sur un service de table : travaillé d'après la bosse dans la Royale fabrique de porcellaine par ordre de Sa Majesté le roi des Deux Siciles

Venuti, Domenico, 1742-1814 · 1787 · À Naples ce 10. may 1787 : Dans la Royale imprimerie · 24 pictures

A 1787 Neapolitan publication in French by Domenico Venuti, printed at the Royal Press in Naples, interpreting painted designs on a porcelain dinner service made at the Royal Porcelain Factory for the King of the Two Sicilies. The plates show engraved line drawings of Greek-style vases with figures in relief, framed in plain outlines on cream paper. A designer might take from them the simple contour of classical two-handled amphorae and the narrow friezes of figures and key-pattern bands used for neoclassical ceramic decoration.
