FAQs

Sevres porcelain represents the pinnacle of French ceramic artistry, having been patronised by the royal court and renowned for its exquisite soft-paste body and masterclass painting techniques.

These pieces were crafted primarily from soft-paste or hard-paste ceramic compositions, meticulously hand-thrown, glazed, and decorated with mineral-based enamel pigments and hand-applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces often feature underglaze blue cipher marks corresponding to specific factory years, alongside characteristic weight, hand-painted brushwork nuances, and period-appropriate wear to the gilt edges.

Such pieces serve as refined decorative accents and can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving units, or utilised as delicate tabletop vessels in traditional or eclectic spaces.

Historic porcelain requires careful hand washing in lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
