Pair of vases covered silver seals florets floral draperies foot shower

This pair of covered vase is a production of the manufacture de sceaux. Sceaux earthenware was born in the middle of the eighteenth century. She will adopt the ceramic modes of her time, including the rocaille style and the decoration with a small fire imitating porcelain. The faience factory of sceaux comes from the common earthenware, the fine earthenware and the soft porcelain. There are both quality tableware objects and decorative objects. The paste of sceaux earthenware takes on a buff pink hue. It is covered with a milky white enamel and very shiny imitating porcelain. The high-quality production is intended to compete with the soft porcelain of vincennes, future porcelain of sèvres, the only one having the privilege of producing porcelain. Many of the painters of sceaux then came from the manufacture of sèvres. We find the décor of very high quality, including flowers and bouquets in the style of strasbourg, the landscapes of françois boucher, the country scenes, the birds of jarry, the animals, etc. The décor is similar to those of mennecy and bourg-la-reine.
