Editorial Reviews
Vincennes Sèvres porcelain is a hardcover book with 144 full color pages with great illustrations that presents the Sèvres Porcelain Manufacture at the Time of Louis XVI and the Revolution.
By the end of the 1760s, the Sèvres factory had conquered Europe, but it did not yet produce hard-paste porcelain.
That was soon to change, and with new discoveries came fresh challenges, such as developing novel production methods.
Thanks to the unwavering support of Louis XV and his grandson Louis XVI, the factory soon continued its meteoric rise, but then came the French Revolution...
