Lot Essay

Henry Hollins was a pâte-sur-pâte decorator trained by Louis Solon and recorded at the manufactory in circa 1872-81. Solon's Illustrated Journal first notes Henry Hollins as a pâte-sur-pâte artisan in February of 1874.

At the Paris Universelle Exposition of 1878, Hollins alongside Solon, Birks and Rhead were permitted to enter works and his name appears in the estimate books for the last time in September 1885. For a centrepiece decorated by Hollins see Christie's, New York, 15 October 2019, lot 48 and for a moon flask also by Hollis, see Christie's, New York, 13 April 2017, lot 171.
