An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This plate is one of ten, each painted with a different flower amid ribbons, from the Service Fleurs et rubans designed by Félix Bracquemond in 1879. Produced both in earthenware by Creil and in porcelain by Haviland, the Creil version makes use of a model of plate supplied by Bracquemond in 1866.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
