This cruet stand is attributed to the factories in Moustiers, known for the quality of their faience. Beginning in 1740, these factories developed various types of floral ornamentation, including the \u201cjasmine flower\u201d motif shown here.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shades of yellow used in the design are characteristic influences of the rocaille style, popularized in the second half of the 18<\/span><sup>th<\/sup><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century. In French, the word \u201crocaille\u201d refers to rocks and is used figuratively to suggest an irregular appearance.

Satyrs are mythological creatures with the body of a man, the feet of a goat and horns on the head.
