Covered Sugar Bowl (Pot à sucre)

This covered bowl, likely intended for sugar, is one of the earliest surviving examples of Vincennes porcelain, a reputed French factory moved to Sèvres in 1756. The continuous landscape is painted on this object en pointillé, a method by which a painter forms images with tiny dots. This style may have been influenced by their German competitors at the Meissen Porcelain Factory.
