Nicolas-Jean Alphonse Giboin, born in the Charente region, pursued a parallel career as a civil servant at the Ministry of Finance and as a glass enameller, an activity he developed from the 1880s onwards in his Libourne workshop, equipped with a personal kiln. His decoration reveals an eclectic taste, combining elements borrowed from the rediscovered Orient — Damascus, El Racha, Ragès — with motifs of antique, neo-gothic, Renaissance or eighteenth-century French inspiration. This blown glass dish with a lightly smoked wall presents, on the rim, four circular medallions enamelled in white and gold heightened with a turquoise fillet, alternating with four cartouches of gilded arabesques in leafy scrollwork. The interior well, encircled by a gilt ring, is decorated with an interlaced composition of stylised Kufic calligraphy in white enamel in relief on a gilt ground, of remarkable delicacy of execution. The enamels are applied and kiln-fired according to a technically demanding process, based on a colourless glass flux combined with ground oxides giving the colour. Giboin's works are generally signed and numbered beneath the piece, in enamel or gold. The signature is visible at the centre of the interior well.
