Sevres Porcelain from the Sevres Museum 1740 to the Present Day

The manufacture of porcelain at Sevres has a long and eventful history: for over 250 years Sevres has been a centre of innovation and creativity in porcelain manufacture, and during its earliest days served the royal courts of France. This beautifully designed catalogue, written by the current curator at the French Musee National de Ceramique, known at the 'Musee de Sevres', charts the history of porcelain manufacture at Sevres, and the development of the Museum itself. The book illustrates over 150 of the most important pieces in full colour.
