Revue des arts décoratifs
Revue des arts décoratifs is a Paris periodical of 1881 issued by the Union centrale des beaux-arts appliqués à l'industrie and the Musée des arts décoratifs, aimed at designers and manufacturers of decorative objects. Its plates are photographic reproductions of objects: the upper one shows three silver or pewter vessels, a covered cup, a footed goblet and a flared beaker, each on a dark plinth, lit against grey. The lower plate shows a lobed blue-and-white faience dish with a central crest, scrolling cartouches and a border of foliate scrolls, a model for ceramic border and emblem design.
