Stilleven met emaille (Still Life with Enamelware)

A crowd of enamelware glows against deep red velvet, a sky-blue coffee pot, a speckled flask, a mint tin box, red and pink shakers and a bowl of small cherries. Each piece carries its own chipped, gleaming glaze, set down like a still life of pure colour. Humble kitchen brocante, paraded with the seriousness once reserved for silver.
