Covered vase, one of a pair
Manufacturer: Sèvres Porcelain Factory; Decorator: Fallot (birds); Decorator: Charles-Eloi Asselin (figures); Decorator: Vincent Taillandier (ground pattern); Maker: Jean-Claude-Thomas Duplessis (gilt-bronze mounts)
covered vase, cat. card does not list 'a-b' for vase and lid; white ground, painted with turquoise and gold circle-and-dot pattern (oeil-de-perdrix); the wide decorative bands are adorned with exotic birds and chinoisirie. The subjects and decorative grounds link them to a pair in the collection of Queen Elizabeth thought to have been bought by Marie Antoinette in 1779. The similar oeil-de-perdix of both pairs may be attributed to Vincent Taillandier, who specialized in this type of patterned ground
