Large Blue and White Arras Porcelain Round Soup Tureen French 18th Century
About the Item
This late 18th-century French soup tureen is decorated with an elegant design of delicate cornflower sprigs.
The color of the porcelain body is creamy white.
The cornflower sprigs, handles, and border edging are decorated with beautiful deep twilight blue enamel.
The makers of Arras porcelain specialized in porcelain painted in this entrancing blue called "Bleu d'Arras."
The combination of the creamy white ground and the blue decoration is splendid!
Natural forms like the tree branch handle and the blue cornflower decorations were the height of French fashion in the last quarter of the 18th century.
This tureen was made at the Arras porcelain factory circa 1780.
Dimensions:10.25" diameter x 9" height
Condition: Excellent, with some small original firing cracks along the outer edge of the cover (see image #3).
Price: $1,400

Background of Arras Porcelain: The Arras Porcelain Manufactory was started in the 1770s by the family Delemers.
They were a family of four sisters who set up a porcelain factory employing as many as 20 people. The factory lasted for just twenty years.
That was long enough to forge a reputation founded on the delicacy and quality of the shapes and decorations they created.
The factory was primarily known for the magnificent color of the blue painting on the porcelain called "Bleu d'Arras."
The Arras Museum of Fine Arts has a good collection of this porcelain on exhibit.

- Late 18th Century Dagoty French Porcelain Plate Cobalt Blue Children PlayingBy DagotyLocated in Katonah, NYWe are pleased to offer this extraordinary Dagoty porcelain plate showing children playing. The happy children are joined by their dog in a scene painted in grisaille. On this plate, the border of deep cobalt blue is lavishly gilded in a dramatic geometric pattern. As we see here, burnished gilt was another hallmark of Dagoty porcelains. The formal border juxtaposes the informal scene of the children at play with the geometric design. This type of contrast is typically French, and only the French made porcelains with this particular type of sophisticated contrast. Romanticism had a strong influence on the Dagoty porcelains of the last decade of the 18th century. Anecdotal scenes, indoor scenes, and scenes showing children's games replaced neoclassical subjects. The new themes were more human and had a much less rigid atmosphere. Condition: Excellent Diameter: 8 inches Price: $420 Background: The Paris retail shop was on the Boulevard Montmartre. The Dagoty factory made hard paste porcelain. The factory was in the Rue de Chevreuse, Paris, leased for nine years in 1800 by brothers Pierre-Louis (1771-1840) and Etienne-Jean-Baptiste Dagoty (1772-1800). Pierre-Louis became sole owner in 1804, and in 1807 the lease was renewed for a further nine years. The factory was under the protection of the Empress Josephine and supplied porcelain for Versailles. In 1816, Dagoty went into partnership with Edouard Honoré...Category
