Catalogue Note
La production de cuillères en émail peint se développe à partir du deuxième tiers du XVIe siècle. L’inventaire de l’hôtel parisien du connétable Anne de Montmorency, vers 1556-68, en mentionne plusieurs exemples. Un modèle de Jean Reymond – rare exemple dont le manche est également émaillé - est conservé au musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon (inv. n° CAT 1319). Deux autres, plus tardifs, sont au British Museum (inv. n° WB 44) ; deux autres encore à la Walters Art Gallery de Baltimore (attribués à Joseph Limosin). Le traitement de la musculature en grisaille sur fond noir étoilé rehaussé de feuillages dorés rappelle le travail de Pierre Reymond, dont son aiguière du Staatliche Kunstsammlungen de Dresde (inv. n° III 13).
