Catalogue Note
L'invention du décor de ces vases revient avec certitude à Jean Pillement (1728-1808). Une analyse précise de ses recueils gravés dès le milieu des années 1750 permet notamment de retrouver le motif du chinois dansant à côté d'un chinois musicien ainsi que le type très caractéristique des entourages dits à "fleurs chinoises".
