Description
A FINE LATE 19TH CENTURY FRENCH SEVRES PORCELAIN TETE A TETE TEASET painted with bold floral sprays upon a rich blue ground, highlighted with gilded leaves and motifs. Largest 20 cm x 12 cm. (7) Note: The Manufacture nationale de Sevres is one of the principal European porcelain factories. It is located in Sevres, Hauts-de-Seine, France. It is the continuation of Vincennes porcelain, founded in 1740, which moved to Sevres in 1756. It has been owned by the French crown or government since 1759, and has always maintained the highest standards of quality. Almost immediately, it replaced Meissen porcelain as the standard-setter among European porcelain factories, retaining this position until at least the 19th century. Its production is still largely based on the creation of contemporary objects today. It became part of the Cite de la céramique in 2010 with the Musée national de céramique, and since 2012 with the Musée national Adrien Debouche in Limoges.
