Mustard pot and stand (moutardier ordinaire)
Vincennes Manufactory
ca. 1752–53 · Soft-paste porcelain · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The yellow ground color may have been developed as early as 1749 at Vincennes. Its use was probably inspired by similarly-decorated Meissen pieces of the 1730s and 40s, or by Chinese porcelains of the late 17th/early 18th century.
