Sèvres Manufactory

The Sèvres Manufactory is represented here by a compact group of works in soft-paste porcelain, the factory's characteristic medium, ranging from plain soft-paste pieces to unglazed biscuit figures. The subjects are typical of eighteenth-century French ceramic production: practical vessels such as flower pots and a covered vase, alongside genre scenes like The Schoolmaster, The Schoolmistress, The Magic Lantern and The Lottery. The seven objects in this collection span 1757 to 1772, with impressions up to that later date.
