Almost every improvement realized
in French ceramics during the present
century is due TO the mandatory of
Sevres, and THO influence exercised by
that celebrated establishment on the
manufacture of porcelain, not only as
regards the manufacturing processes
but also in respect TO the shapes and
decoration, is incontestlble. The ma
tonal mSnufactory of Sevres has set
an example to private industry with
out ever competing with IL. 1t has no
difficulty ia securing the assistance OF
eminent artists and distinguished sci
entists, aDd is sufficiently literally
subsidized to undertake costly expert
ments the rSsult of which Is often
doubtful. The Sevres mandatory is
near Paris. 1t has always followed
the pure precepts of true art and
guided the public taste without being
misled by jG, and its superiority over
similar establishments TO be found in
other countries has been universally
acknowledged.
The great romance in the history of
ceramics is the life of Bernard Palsy
to whom France is indebted for n
purely national art. He was born
about 1910 and began his professional
life as worker in glass. No man ever
knocked with more pertinacity than
he at the door of knowledge. Success
came TO him late. He was saved in
1858 by court influence from the mas
sacre of st. Bartholomew, but later on
fell into the hands of the leaguers and
died at the age of 80 in the Bastile.
White enamel at first engrossed his at
tention. His most famous achievement
was the rustiques hRulipes, with which
his name Is most intimately associated.
These are known by limitations almost
everywhere, and consist of variously
shaped dishes and vases ornamented
with shells, frogs, lizards, snakes, fish
of several varieties, and leaves. NM
