About the Item

Beautiful French Sevres vase, early 20th century blue in oriental style by Paul Minet. Paul Milet is a French ceramist, born January 25, 1870 in Sèvres and died after October 4, 1930. Paul Milet is the son of ceramist Felix Optat Milet (1838-1911). After training in the laboratory of the Manufacture de Sèvres, he became a chemist and worked in the factory founded by his father in 1866 at 8 rue Troyon in Sèvres, close to the Manufacture. From 1890, he gradually takes over from his father. Like him, he will continue to benefit from the collaboration of the artists of the Manufacture Nationale de Ceramique de Sèvres. In 1899, he married Marie-Louise Gibert (known as Céline), whose brother Paul held a post in Paris as director of Haviland, a famous porcelain maker in Limoges. Paul Milet worked with his father Optat Milet until his death in 1911, then with his son Henri, ceramist engineer, who was appointed director of the plant in 1931, which did not prevent father and son from work closely together. Paul Milet began to sign his pieces "MP Sèvres" in a dotted circle, either upon entry into the business, or probably from 1911, on the death of his father Felix Optat Miletus. Over the years, the Porcelain Manufactory Sèvres worried about the possible confusion between the productions of each other. Threatened with a lawsuit, Paul Milet changed his mark by reversing the initials. On October 4, 1930, he filed the mark "PM Sèvres" in the same dotted circle. On July 16, 1945, was registered an extended mark to "St Paul Milet and son". Some pieces, older probably, are simply signed "Sèvres". Others are accompanied by the name of the artist who participated.
