Bibliography
“M. Naudot est le seul fabricant de porcelaine de pâte tendre, dite porcelaine française.
Il expose nombre de pièces remarquables par la qualité de la matière et l’éclat des émaux
qui les recouvrent. De plus, il a découpé dans la pâte crue des fleurs d’une finesse extrême,
qui, remplies ensuite d’émail, forment sur la pièce comme une fine dentelle lumineuse”.

Camille Naudot is credited with having mastered the technique of filling the blanks
of his openwork soft paste porcelain with colored translucent enamels without having

AIGUIERE AUX IRIS, 1893
Multilayered glass, partly hammered with small irregular facets and wheel-carved decor of iris flowers
Height: 22 cm.
Most likely blown and engraved in Meisenthal then wheel-carved in Nancy
Designed to be mounted in silver, an example was acquired directly from Emile Gallé in 1893 by the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs, the current Musée des Arts décoratifs, inventory number 7775. The mount is by Joseph Joindy, chased by Francis Peureux who was the main silver chaser at the Maison Boucheron. Our example is the unmounted one that remained in Emile Gallé’s family and no other example known to exist.
In his book L’Oeuvre de verre d’Emile Gallé, copyright 1998 Editions Messene, Paris,
François Le Tacon illustrates a ewer in red and black multilayred glass, that he dates 1893 and which is located in the castle museum of Boulogne-sur-Mer, inventory n. 750, height: 25 cm.; We read: “A l’opposé, une cruche de 1893 (fig.62), sans caractère symbolique, est un objet intrinsèquement décoratif. Soufflée et gravée à Meisenthal à l’acide, puis reprise à la roue à Nancy, elle était destinée à être montée à Paris sur argent doré, comme l’exemplaire du musée des Arts décoratifs. Elle est en cristal triple couche : une interne translucide, une intermédiaire noire foncée et une externe rouge. L’opposition violente entre le noir et le rouge donne à cette pièce un aspect particulier, encore souligné par l’agressivité de la gravure qui s’apparente beaucoup à une taille. La monture en argent ciselé et doré, de style rocaille, avec deux serpents s’enroulant autour de l’anse, plutôt de style Art nouveau, accentue encore les oppositions. La pièce parisienne, à décor d’iris, a été achetée directement à Gallé par le musée; celle de Boulogne, à décor de lys, appartenait à Charles Lebeau”.
