“M. Methey, lui, nous montre des pièces absolument réussies. Certaines sont fort belles de colorations, aux tons profonds et puissants. Certaines autres, l’une ornée de grenouilles, et surtout celle ornée d’escargots, ont un aspect un peu rustique tout à fait amusant. C’est là, en somme, un très bon envoi”. M. P.-Verneuil “Les Objets d’Art à la Société des Artistes Français”, Art et Décoration, July 1903, page 229
