Price guide to antique Sevres / Sevres Style Vases.
Sèvres was a popular factory for the commission and production of royal and diplomatic gifts, as well as for direct purchases by royal families and the aristocracy. Marie Antoinette was an early supporter, ordering vase garnitures, teawares and dinner-services.
In 1784 the queen ordered a sumptuous service decorated with roses, faux pearls and pansies in medallions, on a carmine ground. This was for use at Versailles. Upon its completion in May of that year it was given instead by Louis XVI to Gustav III as a diplomatic gift commemorating the Swedish king’s visit. Reference: Christie’s
