Potpourri Vase (Vase potpourri Hébert)
(18th and 19th Centuries )
The model for this vase, still preserved at the Sèvres manufactory, is labeled "vase à cartels, modèle de Hébert." (This name might refer to Thomas-Joachim Hébert, a marchand-mercier, or to a secrétaire du roi, also named Hébert.) The harbor scene is by Jean-Louis Morin. The "bleu lapis" ground color has been gilded in a "caillouté," or pebbled pattern.
