Soft-paste porcelain, moulded, and decorated on the outside with a green ground, painting in blue, green, yellowish-green, yellow, pink, pale purple, red, brown, grey, and black enamels, and gildin. The elongated, lobed oval vase stands on a low foot, and has a slightly concave back and a bowed front. The rim is curved and rises at either end to form handles, moulded from half way up the sides with acanthus leaves. The glaze on the interior has areas of blue and grey speckling. There are two suspension holes in the footring. The ground is bluish-green with an oval reserve on the front and back framed by wide bands of gilding tooled with short lines crossed at intervals by crossed ribbons, and flanked by rectangular vertical panels filled by four vertical rows of gold dotted circles. The reserve on the curved side is painted in polychrome enamels with a harbour scene featuring two sailors leaning on a barrel beside a fire, and behind them three others working on the rigging of a ship. The shore on the right is backed by high cliffs, and on the left, the sea extends to the horizon. The reserve on the back is painted with a spray of flowers with a flying bird on each side The handles are white with touches of gilding on the moulded leaves. There is a band of gilding round the foot and a dentilated band round the rim.

It was introduced in three sizes in 1754, but the second and third sizes were not produced until 1759. This example is of the third size which ranged from height 10 to 11.3 cm and length 23.7 to 24.4 cm. The moulds and models for three sizes were mentioned in the work of 1754 in the inventory of January 1755 (MNS, Inventaire de 1755 I 7, pp. 6, 8), A design survives which shows outlines of two sizes of the plan, and three sizes of the elevation (MNS R.1, liasse 3, dossier 1, fol. 3). The drawing was illustrated by Rosalind Savill in her 'Catalogue of the Wallace Collection '(see Documention). She provided an extensive list of examples of the various sizes, including under the third size the Fitzwilliam’s, and examples in the Frick Collection, New York, the British Museum, London, the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, and the Louvre, Paris. This example is a genuine piece of Sèvres soft paste, and bears an incised mark which also appears one of a pair of caisse à fleurs at Waddesdon Manor, and on two of a set of three cuvettes à tombeau, in the Wadsworth Atheneum (1917.1047 and 1917.1049), It also occurs on a milk jug of c. 1756-60 in the Fitzwilliam’s collection (C.43-1961). But although the vase bears the musical quaver note mark of Cornaille, a specialist flower painter, the quality and design of the floral panel is very poor, and the painted decoration and gilding must have been executed outside the factory, probably in the early 19th century. The quay scene might have been by Morin or one of the other paintings painting harbour scenes but the colouring is not typical, and its quality does not compare well with the quay scenes on Sèvres vases in the Royal Collection (see Documentation). Another point indicating later decoration is that on both sides the oval reserves overlap the vertical moulding on either side of them, which was not normal practice, although their gilded frames sometimes did so. The decoration must have been executed before 1864 when the vase was recorded as no. 15 in an inventory and valuation ceramics in the possession of Lord Carrington at 8 Whitehall, London. During the late 18th and early 19th century the Manufacture Royale at Sèvres sold large quantities of soft-paste porcelain ‘seconds’, both white (rebut blanc), and partially decorated which were decorated outside the factory in Paris and elsewhere. Revealing discussions of this practice are given by Savill (1988) and Bellaigue (2009), see Documentation. reference term-113159 adlib-term-113159 4bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e 18th Century,
