Plumes
Early 20th century illustration of plume types by Adolphe Philippe Millot (1857–1921) a French painter, lithographer and entomologist. Millot illustrated many of the natural history sections of Petit Larousse, and was also the senior illustrator at Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. Additionally, he was a member of the Salon des Artistes Francaise and the Société entomologique de France.
In potichomania process, the glass acts as both a foundation and protective finish, saving the step of varnishing. The original intent was to recreate Greek and Etruscan vases by simulating rare and expensive Sevrés porcelain.

Details
This tray measures approximately 8 x 10 inches. The relative thinness of the tray – just over 1/8” thick – belies the complexity of the potichomania process. Each of our trays is comprised of a glass tray, three layers of 28# paper, four coatings of varnish, and finished with two coats, each of paint and clear acrylic spray. We’ve added a high-quality felt pad on the bottom in order to protect your home surfaces.
Care: Please spray with a gentle glass cleanser and wipe clean. Do not submerge in water. For decorative purposes only.
