This wall fountain is a splendid example of a luxury utilitarian object decorated entirely in the petit feu, or overglaze, technique. It would have been delivered to a painter’s workshop with only a white glaze, to be richly decorated with coastal landscapes and flowers. The fountain could be filled with water. It probably hung in a passage or formed part of a buffet in a dining room.
