"Japon" Imari service, produced in 1876 by the Creil & Montereau pottery, shows the great success of Japonism in tableware production, like the Bracquemond-Rousseau service, produced by the same factory a few years earlier.
The Japon service was very renowned and much appreciated. It is characterized by fine earthenware with a slightly bluish paste on which a darker blue decoration is screen printed. The decoration shows cherry trees, plum trees, and chrysanthemum flower barriers in the perfect spirit of Japonism protection. This deluxe version is hand enhanced with orange-red and gold highlights. That gives to the service a touch of Imari look so appreciated in England, while the standard version is only in blue color.
The service is often called "Service Monet" because the artist had the basic one only with blue designs in his home in Giverny.
