Book Description:
One of the most prized segments of the Wadsworth Atheneum's permanent collection is the large group of French 18th century porcelain, much of it bequeathed by the renowned collector J. Pierpont Morgan. More than 250 individual pieces from the manufactories of Saint Cloud, Chantilly, Villeroy Mennecy, Vincennes and Sevres are published here in full. Extensive research by the authors has resulted in important insights into this impressive collection and significant advances in our knowledge of French porcelain. The entries cover the history of all the objects, their form, usage, and decoration. Scholarly commentary is provided on their dating, style, decorators, and historical context. The porcelain has been arranged chronologically by type within each manufactory. An introductory essay recounts the part played by J. Pierpont Morgan in acquiring the porcelain and other French decorative arts at the beginning of the 20th century. The glossary of terms and techniques and the full index, add to the accessibility of the text.
