Gant d'un artisan



In the window of the artists who hand-paint the bone china, we saw this glove (gant) and purple glasses. The artisan-owner must have been out to déjeuner.

Wish that we had seen her at work.

    Peut-être que cet artisan était parti à un rendez-vous. Il a laissé ses gants et outils pour que, si une petite Américaine passait par là, elle pourrait continuer son travail...
    Qu'en penses-tu?

    Those kinds of glasses are very famous in France, because of the advertising made by Adriana Karembeu!:)
    i like the idea of a glove left behind...I can imagine a lot of stories behind!

    Where else would you find such material but Paris?

    What a charming little still-life—one that you had the "eye" to see, and then share with us. Thanks, Genie!

    Gorgeous! I'm always in awe of the painters of china/porcelain. In this case, I'm also in awe of her glasses. :) Just a few more days!

    Nice capture. It's the little things that are most interesting and that we often overlook.

    Now that's a find! I can't imagine doing any fine painting with that big glove on. Maybe it's for handling the fired pieces? Love the cute glasses!

    It is just a simple table, a glove and a pair of glasses, but somehow they create a very photogenic scene when seen through your capable eyes.

    That is a wonderful picture. The frame of the glasses tells that the owner is an artist.
