Factory:
Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory
Painter:
Vielliard, André-Vincent
Soft-paste porcelain broth bowl and cover, with a yellow ground painted in manganese-purple with a continuous landscape, and gilded.
Soft-paste porcelain, thrown, painted in manganese-purple and maroon enamels, and gilded. The glaze on the interior has a few grey and black speckles.Circular bowl with entwined branch handles and a domed cover with a handle in the shape of an olive branch with fruit and leaves. There is a hole in the footring and on the inside of the rim of the cover. Both parts have a yellow ground decorated in manganese-purple with continuous landscapes with buildings, and a few figures. On one side of the bowl, there is a village, and a lighthouse on a promontary beside an estuary where a man stands on a jetty, and there are two rowing boats near the shore, and five sailing ships out at sea. On the other side is a farm, a man following a packhorse over a low bridge, and a man sitting fishing under a tree. The foot and rim of the bowl and the edge of the cover are each encircled by a maroon band, a white reserved band and a gold band. The knob and handles are partially gilded.
