Eugène MICHEL (1848-1904) Rare covered box in acid-etched multi-layered glass, circa 1880. It presents four distinct views of the Nikkō Mountains in Japan through Western architecture mixed with Asian. Gilded brass frame decorated with pearl and leaf friezes, flamed lid grip. Signature on the wheel, E.Michel de Nancy - Croix de Lorraine Work excecuted before 1885, the year of his arrival in Paris to work with the greatest Masters such as Eugène Rousseau or the great Houses such as l'Escalier de Cristal. All the evidence suggests that our work dates from before 1880, following the Universal Exhibitions of 1867 and 1876, when Japan was invited for the first time - the starting point of Japonism. Here we find the beginnings of the Art Nouveau style of the Napoleon III era. Eugène Michel's signed work is rare, as he mainly worked in large workshops producing pieces signed by others, including Eugène Rousseau, Ernest Léveillé, Harant Guignard and l'Escalier de cristal. H. 18; diam. 13.5 cm

Isaac Jacob Clauce oder Clauze - Tabatière with falconry in enamel painting Colored painter's enamel on copper, engraved and gilded copper. Painted on six sides on the outside and inside the lid with exquisite landscapes, exotic figures, hunting and courtly scenes with musical instruments. Some cracks on the base and sides. H 3.5, W 6.5, D 5 cm. Berlin, probably Fromery manufactory, the decoration attributed to Isaak Jacob Clauce or Clauze, mid 18th century. The exquisite staffage of the tabatière can probably be attributed to Isaak Jacob Clauce (1728 - 1803), one of the best miniature and enamel painters of his time. He received his training from 1739 to 1747 in Augsburg under the miniature painter and engraver Gustav Andreas Wolfgang. He then worked as a freelance enamel painter in Berlin until 1753, mainly painting cans. In 1753 he was employed at the Meissen porcelain manufactory. After the Prussian occupation, he returned to Berlin in 1756, where Gotzkowsky credited himself with attracting "the famous miniature painter, Mr. Clause" to the Berlin manufactory. Clauce remained at the later Royal Berlin Porcelain Manufactory and became head of the painting workshop in 1789. The Fromery manufactory's colored enamel box was one of the most famous Berlin products sold throughout Europe. The trained goldsmith Pierre Fromery (1679 - 1738) specialized in the production of enamelled copper with gold plating. He founded a large distribution company for gallantry goods (brushes, tobacco boxes, flasks), which was taken over by his son Alexander after his death.
