Did You Know?

This object was manufactured in soft-paste porcelain, a material used by many European porcelain factories before they were able to emulate the hard-paste porcelain of China and Japan.

Description

The intricately painted birds that decorate this tureen are the work of Louis-Denis Armand. Armand was known for his depictions of birds and landscapes, a specialty that may have come from his work as a painter of lacquered furniture with similar compositions. This tureen was likely designed by master goldsmith Jean-Claude Duplessis who began working as an artistic director at the Vincennes Porcelain Factory in 1748.
