Pair Antique Porcelain Jars French Hand Painted 18th Century Made by Mennecy

About the Item

These beautiful Mennecy porcelain soft-paste pomade jars were hand-painted in the 18th century, circa 1765. They are rare. Jars like this would have been placed on the vanity of an aristocratic lady. Both the body and the cover have lovely spiral fluting. They are decorated with flowers painted in exquisite pastel colors, especially the distinctive purple-rose hue seen on the body and the cover. Each cover is topped with a fabulous strawberry finial. The underside of both jars is marked with the Mennecy mark, an incised "DV." Dimensions. height 3.75 inches x diameter 2.35 inches Condition: Excellent Price: $1,700 Background of Mennecy Porcelain: The Mennecy Porcelain factory was one of the first French porcelain factories. From 1735 until 1773, the factory produced fine-quality soft-paste porcelain. French soft-paste porcelain began with the early attempts by European potters to replicate Chinese porcelain using mixtures of clay and glass frit. Like our jars, the porcelain body of the early Mennecy wares has a creamy one. By royal decree, the only porcelain factory in 18th-century France that used gilding was the royal factory, Sèvres. So, there was no gilding at Mennecy; instead, the rims were painted in purple or pink. The Mennecy factory, under the protection of the Duc de Villeroy, marked an incised "DV," his mark, on the underside of many pieces.
