Description from the seller
Rare Sèvres Porcelain Compotier - S56 mark with a wheel grind trace (rebus).
Decoration: Cameos and Flowers
Description:
Magnificent cake stand (compotier) in fine porcelain, from the renowned Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres.
Marking: Presence of the green stamp "S. 56" under the foot, indicating possible manufacture in 1856. The mark is milled, indicating a piece sold in the white by the manufactory and then decorated by an exterior Parisian painting workshop of high quality.
Decoration: Rich neoclassical ornamentation (Louis XVI).
The basin is adorned with a central floral bouquet finely painted. The rim and the foot feature cameos (antique-style portraits) on a light blue "celestial blue" background, alternating with rose garlands and fine gold highlights.
Style: Inspired by the famous Catherine II of Russia service.
Condition: Very good condition of the porcelain and the gilding. Note: the central iron mounting stem shows natural oxidation due to age (see photos), but the whole is perfectly stable.
Dimensions: diameter 22.5 cm
A piece of great finesse, to complete a 19th-century porcelain collection or for an exceptional table.
