Vase with Lid

1764
Model probably by Jean-Claude Duplessis, Sr. (French, c. 1695–1774) Made by the Sèvres porcelain factory, Sèvres, France (1756–present) Decorated by Charles-Nicolas Dodin (French, 1734–1803)
The scene on this vase, entitled The Fortune Teller, is taken from an engraving by Pierre-Alexandre Aveline (French, 1702-1760), which in turn is after a design by François Boucher (French, 1703-1770). Boucher designed the composition for a tapestry series made at the Beauvais factory.
