Charles Nicolas Odiot. A silver kettle bearing the von Pfeffel family motto and its preparatory drawing. From the Maison Odiot collections.
The preparatory drawing and the silver model show the variety of designs offered by the Maison Odiot. While the drawing envisages a kettle with extravagant ornamentation, the final model is more sober, with large gadroons found on other models made between 1825 and 1838 (see, for example, Jean-Marie Pinçon and Olivier Gaube du Gers, op.cit., for a vegetable dish reproduced on p. 178). Our silver example was made for the Bavarian von Pfeffel family, whose motto is embossed on the belly. In the 19th century, Christian Hubert Pfeffel (1765-1834) was elevated to the rank of Freiherr (Baron). In 1836, his son Carl Maximilian (1811-1890) married Karoline von Rothenbourg (1805-1872), the natural daughter of Prince Paul-Charles of Württemberg (1785-1852).
The drawing is referenced in the Odiot archives under number 40: "Lead pencil line drawing / 15-cup kettle / Three-post stove on runners / Shells linked by light garlands of / flowers - Body inverted form, decorated with / contoured lambrequins each bearing a / flower motif. Rocaille spout decorated with flowers / and water leaves, plain handle with opposite crossettes / Flower seed ".

The realization of the pair of tureens on tender cannot be understood without its fervent historical context: we move to Vienna around the year 1792 when, due to the revolutionary wars in Brabant and France, Maria Christina of Austria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Teschen are forced to flee from Brussels to settle permanently in the Austrian capital. Together with them, the court brought all the ducal goods (dishes, tableware, furniture, porcelain from Saxony and Meissen, among many other luxurious and exquisite items) to the city on the Danube. However, after the sad and unexpected death of his wife in 1798 due to typhus, Prince Albert withdrew into himself in the Albertina, today considered one of the most important museums in the world, arranging and expanding his artistic treasures and those of his late wife, thus creating one of the most important art collections of our days. Among the multitude of craftsmen and artists who roamed the princely milieu of the time, the name of Ignaz Joseph Würth stands out, "one of the most sought-after and influential goldsmiths of his time, whose creations inspired both his colleagues and members of his family and survive today in important museums around the world," says Wolfram Koeppe in his study "Vienna, circa 1780. An Imperial Silver Service Rediscovered." Consequently, "silver forms of extraordinary inventiveness and superb quality were produced in the years between 1775 and the early 1790s, and it is clear that Ignaz Joseph Würth's contemporaries, competitors and followers closely observed the master's style," Koeppe continues. Notable among them is a tureen currently in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein, which was once associated with the Albert collection and was in fact used with the Second Saxony-Teschen Service. "Made in 1794 by Johann Georg Hann in Vienna, it constitutes one of the last efforts to achieve the style of the Würth dynasty; at the same time, its oversized foot and tall legs anticipate the next stylistic developments that would spread throughout Europe, those of late Neoclassicism and the Empire period," Koeppe asserts.
For this reason, the pair of neoclassical tureens that we now present become a true testimony of what the Albertine court and its important artistic legacy meant for the cultural discourse of the Austrian capital. Made by the most excellent silversmith Johann Goerg Hann in Vienna around 1800, both pieces follow a stylistic discourse of similar characteristics, with the exception of the reclining figure that ornaments the main bodies and that varies slightly one with respect to the other. Both tureens are elevated on a large circular dish supported on claw feet, which gives way to an inverted cup-shaped shaft. The body of the tureens has two side handles and a lid with a handle. The silver is carefully worked, sometimes chiseled with profuse plant motifs, while at other points worked with exquisite figurative bas-reliefs, cornucopias and floral motifs or, in certain parts such as the handles, even maintaining the simplicity of polished silver. It is worth noting the high decorative value of the handle, with a succession of palmettes and fruits that add distinction and finish off the whole in a superb way. A tureen by Johann Georg Hann is now in the Museum Für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna (inv. N. GO 1817) and in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein, Vaduz-Vienna.
RENÉ LALIQUE (Aÿ, France, 1860- Paris, 1945).
"Suzanne", 1925.
Figure in satin glass.
Signed on the back and on the base: "R. Lalique."
Measurements: 23 x 18 x 5,5 cm.
The firm Lalique was founded by René Jules Lalique (1860 - 1945), one of the most prominent glassmakers of the time, and one of the first to sculpt glass for large monumental works, such as the fountains of the Champs Elysees. He enjoyed great recognition thanks to his original creations of jewelry, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., within the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweler Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his works earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as St. Nicasius in Reims and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths. Lalique was not content with designing their models, but also founded a factory to produce large quantities, patenting several innovative manufacturing processes of glass, and various technical effects such as "satin Lalique" or opalescent glass. Lalique pieces are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan in New York, the Louvre or the Orsay in Paris, among many others.
Manises dish; late sixteenth century / early seventeenth century.
Glazed ceramic.
It has a small hole on one side made to hang the piece.
Measurements: 31 cm (diameter).
Glazed ceramic dish with a hole in the center. It has a design composed of geometric and vegetal elements, the latter located on the outer perimeter. Lustre-painted ceramics will be the great art of the Nasrid period, although it was born in Almohad Spain between the second half of the 12th and the first half of the 13th century. It is a technique of Persian origin, the first documents referring to it being found in the year 1066, although no examples prior to the 12th century have come down to us. It is a glazed ceramic, that is to say, with a white glaze bath, very pure in the best examples, which is fired in the kiln. On it, already cold, it is decorated with a pigment composed of five basic ingredients: copper, silver, sulfur, almazarrón (iron oxide) and vinegar. The final tone will depend on the proportion of these components, resulting more golden if it has a greater amount of silver, and more reddish if copper predominates. Finally, the piece is fired a second time at 650ºC, in a reducing atmosphere, to fix the decoration. Once the piece is fired, the decoration is black, so it has to be burnished to obtain the final shiny metallic gold tone. During the Nasrid period, between the 13th and 15th centuries, in the luster pieces we will see all the ornamental repertoire of Hispano-Muslim ceramics: hand of Fatima, "ohm", knot, ataurique, epigraphy, vegetal motifs, scales, imbricated decorations, etc., always with compositions that fill the entire space, with a certain character of "horror vacui". As we see in this piece, in the following centuries the style will continue in Christian territory, maintaining the dense compositions and the linear, vegetal and geometric motifs, although elements that did not exist in Islamic art will be added, as is the case of the reliefs that are the protagonists of this plate.
It has a small hole on one side made to hang the piece.
SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueras, Girona, 1904 - 1989).
Titled and dated on the back.
Seven porcelain plates decorated by Dalí.
Presents the original box and notarial certificate.
Measurements: 38,5 cm (diameter).
Seven plates of Salvador Dali's work, titled, signed and with serial number and certificate on the back before notary. Original boxes included. These pieces were made for the exhibition of the International Painting Fund on May 8, 1990, held in Barcelona. These plates made in enameled porcelain decorated by Dalí, represent with strength and movement that reflects the characteristic style of the surrealist painter.
During his early years, Dalí discovered contemporary painting during a family visit to Cadaqués, where he met the family of Ramon Pichot, an artist who regularly traveled to Paris. Following Pichot's advice, Dalí began to study painting with Juan Núñez. In 1922, Dalí stayed at the famous Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid to begin studying Fine Arts at the San Fernando Academy. However, before his final exams in 1926, he was expelled for claiming that there was no one there fit to examine him. That same year Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time. There he met Picasso, and established some formal characteristics that would become distinctive of all his work from then on. During this period, Dalí held regular exhibitions in both Barcelona and Paris, and joined the surrealist group based in the Parisian neighborhood of Montparnasse. The painter landed in America in 1934, thanks to art dealer Julian Levy. As a result of his first individual exhibition in New York, his international projection was definitively consolidated, and since then he has been showing his work and giving lectures all over the world. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) or the Dalí Universe in London.
The original box and notarized certificate must be presented.
