Philippe-Joseph Brocard, originally a restorer of works of art, developed a passion for Islamic glassware and rediscovered the process of hard coloured enamels fired in full, once mastered by the glassmakers of Syria in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. He presented his first enamelled pieces at the Universal Exhibition of 1867 in Paris, drawing the admiration of Émile Gallé. His works entered the collections of the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. This blown glass dish with a lightly smoked wall is decorated with a covering design of great density. The interior face is organised around a central eight-branched rosette in white enamel, defining eight polylobed ogival compartments with pointed tips in the form of foliate leaves. Each ogive is filled with a tight network of geometric interlace and arabesque scrollwork traced in gold, heightened with cobalt blue enamel. The central medallion, inscribed within an eight-pointed star, presents a stylised flower on a cobalt blue ground. The marli is treated with a continuous frieze of gilt scrollwork. The reverse reveals the same radiating organisation, with a ground entirely covered in gold and blue interlace and arabesques, of remarkable delicacy of execution.
