JACQUES-PHILIPPE IMBERTON, COVERED FLASK CIRCA 1880 in colourless blown glass of piriform form with rich decoration in polychrome enamels painted in relief and gold of garlands of flowers, foliage and floral compositions evoking the Iznik style. The lid is decorated in the same way and topped with a gilded handle. Signature in red enamel "P. J. Imberton" in cursive on the base. A BLOWN GLASS WITH ENAMEL BOTTLE AND COVER, BY JACQUES-PHILIPPE IMBERTON, CA. 1880. HEIGHT. 31.5 CM (12 3/8 IN.) Note Among Imberton's works in museums we will mention only those in the Corning Museum of Glass (Inv. 2006-3-6) and the Musée du Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris (Inv. 10351, 10213, 10347, 10350, 10214 and 10349). A contemporary of Joseph Brocard, he developed his own original style. The glasses he decorated were of a special composition that favoured the amalgamation of enamels and were produced, like Brocard's, by the Appert brothers in Clichy (G. Cappa). It would seem that he worked until 1882 on enamels on glass (ancient art); mosque lamps, Arab bottles; basins, bowls, etc. "(Official Catalogue of the Universal Exhibition of 1878). J.-P. Imberton invented a new glass enamelling process that took his name. In 1884, he donated to the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers a collection of samples (Inv. 10345) showing the successive stages of his technique for applying enamels to glass. Imberton took part in many major exhibitions, including the 1878 Universal Exhibition in Paris (Gold Medal).
