What is the Sèvres mark?

1 Answer
What is the Sèvres mark?
The interlaced double “L” mark is the signature mark of Sèvres porcelain. There have been fakes on the market since the 19th century so be on the lookout for unsightly or sloppily-painted scenes and decorations. The colors should fit right with one another, and the guilding should be fine and lightly applied. Shop a collection of expertly-vetted Sèvres porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
