DescriptionIn a spirit of competition and rivalry, Sceaux was able to entice many skilled artisans, many of whom came from the Royal porcelain manufactory at Sèvres located only four miles away. Decorated with a delicate landscape the plate testifies to the refinement of the wares produced at Sceaux. The blue feathered border, rendered in royal blue copied from Sèvres porcelain, is typical of the manufactory’s decorative repertoire.
