1920s French Limoges Camille Tharaud pâte-sur-pâte Angel/Cherub/Putti round box for your jewelry, candy or chocolates...
- Camille Tharaud born in France in 1878 was probably the most important artist ever, for making Limoges Enameled Elegance.
- He also mastered pâte sur pâte, or literally translated: paste on paste. The translation paste on paste however is misleading.
- The dark tint of the cobalt blue used for these jewelry or candy boxes, makes these pâte sur pâte objects so striking.
- They are finely painted and hand tooled on white slip. Tharaud's conception of the grand feu ̶ a single firing of an enameled piece at 1400 degrees ̶ literally locks the enamel decoration into the porcelain, permanently capturing the intended colors and decorating effects in one fell swoop.
- You can read more on page 17 of the 2009 high gloss book Deco Décor by Donald-Brian Johnson Leslie Piña.
- For you I do have this very special 1920s Camille Tharaud round Limoges box with pâte sur pâte enameled angel/cherub/putti reliefs.
- Exclusively available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics.
- Placed on a blue tea towel from Le Jacquard Français...
- This box has a diameter of 6" and it is almost 3" high.
- There is a letter 'J' in the underside of the box, as well as a T within a C with France above and Limoges below.
- Also the C (Camille) Tharaud signature.
Sold out...
If you want to, you can get a matching brooch in a gold frame at Ruby Lane...
- Christie's did auction off this heavenly plaque of pâte-sur-pâte by another artist, signed M. Chaufriasse Limoges.
- That sold on April 24 of 2003 for $ 5,019! at CHRISTIE'S.

So pretty, Mariette. Thank you so much for stopping by. I was grinning as I read your shivery comment. I live in South Florida so we're actually just entering the season when we can open our windows (from Nov-April or so). I'm still adding some bamboo roll-up blinds to the back though.
