Catalogue Note
Sous le Second Empire, la manufacture de Sèvres s'inspira des célèbres vases en céladon montés par Pierre Gouthière pour le duc d'Aumont (musée du Louvre) pour réaliser, à la demande de Napoléon III, deux paires en porcelaine bleu pour le palais de l'Elysée, une paire en porcelaine rouge pour le château de Saint-Cloud (aujourd'hui au Grand Trianon) et une paire en porcelaine bleu jaspé pour le château de Compiègne.
Le modèle continua de jouir d'une certaine popularité sous la IIIe République comme le montrent les vases que nous présentons ici, sortis des fours en 1873 mais dorés seulement en 1905.
