專家說明
The piédestal 'à oignon' was produced in 1756 and was still recorded in production in 1773. The pot was filled with water and a bulb (possibly a hyacinth) placed in the top. Rosalind Savill suggests that the different decorations on each side may indicate that the growing bulb was turned daily to prevent its leaning towards the light. For a pair of piédestal 'à oignon' decorated with green ribbons in the Wallace Collection, see Rosalind Savill, The Wallace Collection Catalogue of Sèvres Porcelain, London, 1988, Vol. I, pp. 106-109, no. C230-1.
Charles Buteux l'aîné, later père, was a painter of figures, trophies and flowers at Sèvres between 1756 and 1782.
