專家說明

The sculptor-modeller and decorator Léopold-Jules-Joseph Gély joined the Sèvres manufactory in 1851 at the age of 31. The sculptor Marc Louis Solon was very complimentary of Gély saying: '...Gifted with an extraordinary skill of hand, he could chisel the porcelain paste with a surety and neatness of touch usually reserved to the treatment of precious metals'.
