Title: Vincennes and Early Sèvres Porcelain
Author: Gwilt, Joanna
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781851777730
Description: London: V&A Publishing, 2014. 26cm., hardcover, 256pp., ca. 1000 color illus. Summary: The glittering and colorful wares of the renowned royal Sèvres manufactory are prominently displayed in palaces and art galleries around the world. By contrast, the comparative delicacy and simplicity of the beautiful wares of the Vincennes porcelain works, out of which the Sèvres factory evolved, remain relatively unknown, even by porcelain experts. Drawing from the V&A and Belvedere collections, which include rare early pieces of these two factories, the book traces virtually every step in the development of the first Vincennes manufactory in 1740, documenting its success in overcoming technical and artistic challenges and its rivalry with other European manufactories.
