Bisque porcelain

Meaning

Lemma.

Biscuit here means unglazed porcelain, not food. Small sculptural groups furnish Renaudin’s hidden pink room alongside painted panels, gilt ornaments and a tapestry sofa. Their decorative richness contrasts with the poor, austere study where he first receives Julie. The objects expose a difference between public appearance and private comfort; the text does not identify the maker or a surviving sculptural group.
