Note du spécialiste
This well known form was introduced at Sèvres in three sizes in 1754 and 1758 and was still recorded in production records of the 1790s. The earliest title vase 'á la hollandoise' is belived to derive form the use of these vases as bulb pots and may refer to the Dutch delftware vases of the 17th and 18th centuries.
