About
In Paris around 1900, a source for forward-thinking furnishings was Siegfried Bing's Parisian Gallery, La Maison Art Nouveau Bing. Colonna served as one of the shop's in-house designers. This plate's name and subtly incised decoration suggests Colonna drew inspiration from Chinese porcelain, which Westerners purchased for centuries at the port of Canton.
