At the 1900 Exposition Universelle, Thesmar presents his works in gilt-cloisonné enamelled stoneware
for the first time. We have no evidence that Thesmar designed ceramics. We know that he decorated
Sèvres porcelain with enamels ; the ceramics were provided by the Manafacture Nationale.
Because this piece is dedicated to Jeanne Dammouse, we assume it was provided
by the ceramist Albert Dammouse
According to our records, no other example is known to exist
