Ernest Chaplet

Over forty years, the architect and collector Peter Marino gathered a body of work by Ernest Chaplet, the French ceramicist. This book presents that group. Its importance lies in documenting a rare production: a new line Chaplet made in 1883 for Haviland & Co., the factory based in Limoges.

The book also turns to Chaplet's career, which reflects how art ceramics changed around the turn of the twentieth century. Several of his pieces entered museum collections during his lifetime.
