Traité pratique de peinture sur faïence et porcelaine : a l'usage des débutants
A practical French manual on painting on earthenware and porcelain, written by Ris-Paquot and published in Paris by Maison Berville in 1886 for beginners in china painting. Its pictures are blue-ink line engravings of plates, a jug and a covered urn with heraldic medallions, scrolled borders and bird and figure motifs, which a designer could draw on for ceramic patterns, border bands and medallion layouts.
