Vincennes Manufactory
The Vincennes Manufactory stands among the pioneering producers of French soft-paste porcelain, a venture that brought the delicate white body and painted decoration of true porcelain within reach of the French court and its collectors. Its wares belong to the Rococo taste of the mid-eighteenth century, and the figures and scenes modeled there take up pastoral and gentle domestic subjects such as reaping, apron-clad girls, and music lessons. This collection gathers three examples of the manufactory's soft-paste porcelain, dated by the Met to 1752–1753, with impressions up to that period represented among the sheets.
