This Oriental-style bowl is the work of Philippe-Joseph Brocard (1831-1896), a Belgian glass artist and enameller. Brocard began his career as an antique restorer and developed a passion for the masterpieces of Mamluk glassmaking. He was among the first glassmakers to popularize Orientalism in the glass arts. Through his research, he rediscovered a technique for applying gold and polychrome enamel to glass dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, used in Islamic art. He did not patent this technique until 1891. The quality of the execution of the bowl and its decoration is exceptionally refined. The oriental-inspired motifs of the upper register form a frieze of interlaced foliage in copper tones against a gold background. On the body, floral motifs on clear glass lend lightness to the whole. The curved, hot-applied glass feet demonstrate excellent technical skill. Signed beneath the base, this exquisitely crafted object seems to have stepped straight out of a tale from the Arabian Nights.
