Description: | S��vres, the French national porcelain factory, was founded in 1738. S��vres wares were made for the luxury market, using brilliant colours and lavish gilding. A coffee can is a straight sided, round cup shaped like a mug, but smaller, this one is only 10cm high. This shape was introduced at S��vres and widely copied by other manufacturers, as was 'Bleu de roi', the very rich, bright blue enamel background colour used here. This coffee can was decorated by Vincent, who worked at S��vres between 1793 and 1804. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals art designers makers ceramics date period natural world women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
