Vase with cover (vase à panneaux or à perles) (one of a pair)
The French names for these vases (see also 58.75.84a–c) "à panneaux" and "à perles" refer to the paneled reserves, here with painted pastoral scenes after compositions by the Dutch painter Nicholaes Berchem, and to the three-dimensional pearl motives on the lid and running down the sides. The plaster model for this type of vase, which was available in two different sizes, has been preserved in the archives of the Sèvres manufactory. The Museum's pair is an example of the smaller size.
