Tray, from a Breakfast Service (Plateau; Déjeuner Mosaïque Florentine) Tray
This is a tray. It was possibly by Charles-Louis Constans and attributed to Alexandre Brongniart and manufactured by Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory and painted by Pierre Huard. It is dated 1813 and we acquired it in 1981. Its medium is hard paste porcelain, vitreous enamel, gold. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Nature provided many of the designs used by the craftsmen at the Sevres factory. Painted in roundels on the pieces of this tea service are exotic birds, flowers, fruits, butterflies and seashells. ( A Royal Gift, 1994-95)
