Anthropomorphic bottle in polychrome Bayeux porcelain*, so-called Chinese decoration, representing a seated mandarin with his hands almost joined, dressed in rich colored clothes, most certainly from the period of the Veuve Langlois (1830-1847) or J&S Langlois (1848-50), from the 19th century.

This bottle is in good condition and is of high quality. It is very decorative. The top of its cap is the stopper.

Please note: minor enamel defects, some dirt and slight wear from time, see photos.

* Bayeux porcelain

is a ceramic production that developed from the beginning of the 19th century. The Bayeux factory closed its doors in 1952. In 1810, Joachim Langlois opened a porcelain factory and from 1820 produced the famous blue-red-and-gold Imari-inspired decorations and Chinese decorations. In 1850, the heirs (daughters of the Widow Langlois) had to sell the company to François Gosse, a ceramic decorator in Paris. He diversified production without ever abandoning the previous decorations. When François Gosse died in 1870, his son Paul succeeded him. He ran the factory for two years, before dying in turn. His widow took over until 1878. The Gosse family was succeeded in 1878 by a family of ceramic engineers, the Morlents. Bayeux productions are still highly prized today.
