Tray for the tea of French manufacture, in enameled porcelain in blue of King combined with golden borders and central medallion in which a scene of figurative character of gallant thematic is represented that has to link in a landscape of bucolic bucolic character. The tray has a mixtilinear and lobed profile. It should be noted that aesthetically the work follows the models of the well-known Sèvres manufacture. Originally founded in Vincennes in 1740, the National Manufactory of Sèvres was transferred to this location in 1756. One of the main European porcelain factories, the Manufacture was successively named after different political regimes: royal, imperial and national manufactory. Still active today, the firm continues to edit the objects created since 1740, although its current production is largely oriented towards contemporary creation.
