Sèvres at the Time of Louis XVI, A meteoric rise, by John Whitehead, Ed. Courtes et Longues, 9-½ inches x 11 inches ( 24 cm x 28 cm ), hardcover book with 144 full color pages - English edition
Vincennes Sèvres porcelain is a hardcover book with 144 full color pages with great illustrations that presents the Sèvres Porcelain Manufacture at the Time of Louis XVI and the Revolution.
By the end of the 1760s, the Sèvres factory had conquered Europe, but it did not yet produce hard-paste porcelain.
That was soon to change, and with new discoveries came fresh challenges, such as developing novel production methods.
Thanks to the unwavering support of Louis XV and his grandson Louis XVI, the factory soon continued its meteoric rise, but then came the French Revolution...

Description
Sèvres sous Louis XVI, Le premier apogée, de John Whitehead, Ed. Courtes et Longues, 24 cm x 28 cm, relié avec 144 pages couleurs - Edition Anglaise
La porcelaine de Sèvres est un ouvrage de 144 pages couleurs très richement illustré qui présente la fabrique de Porcelaine de Sèvres sous le règne de Louis XVI et la Révolution.
En 1769, la Manufacture de Sèvres a conquis l'Europe, mais elle ne produit pas encore de porcelaine en pâte dure. Elle vient tout juste d'en découvrir le procédé de fabrication : cela bouleversera ses modes de production, son organisation et la gamme des objets proposés.
L'enjeu est grand mais le soutien de Louis XV puis de Louis XVI est indéfectible, jusqu'à ce que survienne la Révolution...
