Schauspielerin (eine von einem Paar) ca. 1730–40 Saint-Cloud-Fabrik die Produktion der Saint-Cloud-Fabrik konzentrierte sich hauptsächlich auf Gebrauchswaren, obwohl auch Vasen hergestellt wurden, insbesondere in den ersten Jahrzehnten der Fabrikgeschichte (siehe 17.190.1911 und 17.190.1912a, b). Der größte Teil der Produktion der Fabrik war klein, und Gegenstände wie Pomadentöpfe, Schnupftabellen, Messergriffe, Potpourris sowie Tassen und Untertassen scheinen einen beträchtlichen Prozentsatz der Produktion der Fabrik gebildet zu haben. Es scheint, dass die Porzellanskulptur die technischen und künstlerischen Grenzen der Fähigkeiten der Fabrik erprobt hat,

Actress (one of a pair) ca. 1730–40 Saint-Cloud factory The production of the Saint-Cloud factory was focused primarily on utilitarian wares, although vases were made as well, especially in the first decades of the factory’s history (see 17.190.1911 and 17.190.1912a, b). Most of the factory’s production was small in scale, and items such as pomade pots, snuffboxes, knife handles, potpourris, and cups and saucers appear to have constituted a sizable percentage of the factory’s output. It would seem that porcelain sculpture tested the technical and artistic limits of the factory’s capabilities, and relatively little sculptural work was produced during the seven or eight decades of the factory’s history.These two figures are among the most ambitious of the sculptures made at Saint-Cloud. While most Saint-Cloud figures are characterized by a certain static quality and an absence of finely modeled detail, these two figures convey a degree of expressiveness and a sense of movement, and their modeling is of greater complexity than is commonly found in Saint-Cloud sculpture. Both figures are distinguished by their gesturing arms, and they occupy a three-dimensional space more fully than most figures made at the factory.It is probable that the two figures represent actors dressed as Chinese characters, [1] and thus the prominence of the figures’ gestures can be explained by their identity as theatrical subjects. The reading of the figures as being Chinese, however, is due primarily to the hat of the male figure and the bold patterning of the robes worn by both figures. His broad-brimmed, tall hat ending in a point is a variant on the type of hat that Europeans traditionally identified with male figures from the Far East, and his identity as a Chinese figure is enhanced by the prominent mustache and goatee that were often regarded in Europe as traditional attributes of both Chinese and Japanese men. The headdress worn by the female figure, however, is not one com
