Sèvres porcelain, produced near Paris since the 18th century, is renowned for its luxurious craftsmanship, vibrant glazes like “bleu céleste” and “rose Pompadour,” and intricate hand-painted designs with lavish gilding. Originally backed by King Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, the manufactory perfected both soft- and hard-paste porcelain, becoming a favorite among European royalty. Today, it continues as a state-run institution, blending historic techniques with modern artistic collaborations.
