Lithophanien entfalten ihren Zauber im flackernden Durchlicht. Als Schmuck in den Fenstern hangend oder verarbeitet zu Lichtschirmen, Lampen und Stovchen, erfreuten sich die Reliefdarstellungen auf Porzellan in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts zunehmender Beliebtheit. Ihre Bildmotive spiegeln auf eindrucksvolle Weise die Wohn- und Lebenswelt des aufstrebenden Burgertums wider es finden sich haufig Genreszenen, idyllische Landschaftsansichten, beschauliche Stadtszenerien und Kopien nach Gemalden. KH. W. Steckelings nimmt eine weitreichende Darstellung der Geschichte der Lithophanien vor. Neben Porzellanobjekten werden dabei auch Sonderformen berucksichtigt. Wertvoll fur Sammler und Liebhaber macht diesen Band vor allem die Einordnung der Lithophanien in die historische Entwicklung der Manufakturen vom 18. bis ins 20. Jahrhundert, wobei deren Herstellung in Frankreich und Deutschland ihren Schwerpunkt hatte. Die Beschreibungen einzelner Objekte enthalten zudem Hinweise zur Herkunft und Markung. Mit Hilfe des reichen Bildmaterials werden Vergleiche gezogen, Entwicklungsschritte und Querverbindungen dargestellt sowie anhaltende Irrtumer korrigiert.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Lithophanes reveal their true magic when backlit by flickering light. Hung in windows as decoration or molded into lampshades, lamps, or veilleuses (food and beverage warmers), these three-dimensional images in translucent porcelain became increasingly popular in the mid-19th century. Their motifs, which included genre scenes, idyllic landscapes, tranquil urban scenes, and copies of paintings, provide an impressive depiction of the home life and milieu of the period's emerging middle class. KH. W. Steckelings set out to produce a comprehensive guide to the history of lithophanes. His work covers not only porcelain objects but also special forms of lithophanes. A valuable fund of information for collectors and enthusiasts everywhere, Shining Stone explores this unique art form particularly in the context of the historical development of lithophane manufacturers from the 18th to the 20th century, the majority of which were located in Germany and France. The book also provides descriptions of individual pieces, with information on product origin, marks, and backstamps. Using a wealth of illustrations, the author draws interesting comparisons, sheds light on individual phases of development and interrelationships, and corrects the misinformation and errors that have been propagated over the years.
