Didier Gardillou is a master porcelain artist who creates Trompe L’Oeil masterpieces. He revived the antique craft of the porcelain florist. This technique and style first appeared in France in the 1740’s at the Manufactory of Vincennes, which in time would move and become known as the Royal Manufactory of Sèvres Porcelain.
