This large porcelain block is a version of the headrests once used by well-to-do women to keep their elaborate hairstyles intact while sleeping. Its scale and flat sides make this headrest the ideal canvas for intricate famille verte enamel decoration. Each side is hand-painted with a fanciful scene of courtly life.
A very unusual item indeed. less
