Légende

Ma chère, je vous apporte une potiche charmante..., 1855. ...pour vos étrennes. - Tiens, comme ça se trouve, moi qui vous en portais une aussi pour les vôtres!... ( - My dear, I brought you an absolutely charming vase as a New Year gift. - What a coincidence... so did I!) La Potichomanie (potichomania). Potichomania was a process invented in the 18th century to imitate expensive Chinese porcelain. It involved cutting out paper illustrations, gluing them to the inside of a glass vase, and then coating the exterior surface with a background paint to give the piece the appearance of painted porcelain.
