18th Century Sevres porcelain is identifiable by its bright, vivid colour palette, commonly incorporating the distinctive dark, inky blue commonly known as bleu Sèvres, or ‘Sevres blue’. Until 1780, the Sevres manufacturers had the total monopoly in France on painting porcelain in more than one colour. Pinks, greens, gold, white and, of course, blue all featured prominently on Sevres pieces.
