The two cartouches, one on either side, feature the kind of ripe landscapes and plant forms that were some of the hallmarks of the style, all executed in a stunning palette of cobalt blue, pale pink and and ivory. The artist was Adrien-Auguste Leduc, one of Sèvres' leading artists, who sometimes undertook his own designs, as here, and sometimes executed the designs of other artists such as Jean Beaumont. The vase is fully marked on the bottom with the artist's signature and date. See less
