Sèvres porcelain, produced by the famed French manufactory established in the 18th century near Paris, is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship, vibrant glazes, and intricate decoration. Renowned for its soft-paste porcelain and later hard-paste productions, Sèvres created finely detailed tableware, vases, and figurines often adorned with elaborate hand-painted scenes, gilding, and rich colors such as the iconic “bleu de Sèvres.” Patronized by French royalty and European aristocracy, the porcelain exemplifies Rococo and Neoclassical elegance, blending artistry with luxury. Today, Sèvres pieces are highly prized by collectors and museums alike, representing a pinnacle of European decorative arts and a lasting symbol of refinement, technical mastery, and aesthetic innovation.
