Tureen

Manufactory Sèvres Manufactory French

Not on view

The curvilinear forms of this tureen and the asymmetry of the gilding reflect the characteristic features of the French rococo style. This is the smallest of the tureens produced by the Sèvres factory; records indicate that Louis XV purchased a green-ground tureen of this uncommon size in 1758.
