Important SÈVRES vase. France, Napoleon III period, second half of the 19th century.Enamelled porcelain and gilt bronze.Signed "Georges Émile Poitevin" on the front.With Sèvres stamp inside the base and inside the lid.Measurements: 98 x 38 x 30 cm.Ornamental vase decorated with pictorial scenes, the front with an allegorical theme and the back with a landscape theme, both by Georges Émile Poitevin, a Parisian painter recorded as exhibiting many porcelain themes in the Paris Salons of the 1870s and early 1880s and listed by W.Neuwirth, Porzellanmaler-Lexicon 1840-1914. Poitevin has decorated the front with great care, depicting a robed lady in the classical manner surrounded by little angels of love dancing around her, one of them carrying a bow. Both the base on which the main body rests and the mouth of the vase are decorated with gilt fretwork, characteristic of the Sèvres style, combined with finely delineated floral and animalistic representations. Also noteworthy are the attributes of Cupid depicted on the mouth of the vase, with a quiver, a bow and a torch, objects closely related to the allegorical ornamentation on the front. The design of the vase is completed by bronze handles decorated with scrolls, as well as a circular base decorated with masks, an aspect typical of the aesthetic of the Sevrès manufacture.Originally founded in Vincennes in 1740, the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres was transferred to Vincennes in 1756. One of the leading European porcelain factories, the Manufacture was successively named after different political regimes: royal, imperial and national manufactory. Still active today, the firm continues to produce objects created since 1740, although its current production is largely oriented towards contemporary creation. The Manufacture de Vincennes was founded with the support of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, with the idea of creating pieces for the court and competing with the porcelain productions of Meissen and Chantilly. In fact, the first experiments were carried out by the brothers Robert and Gilles Dubois, who came from the Chantilly manufactory. By 1745, under the direction of the Gravant couple, important results had already been achieved, in particular the creation of models of porcelain flowers to decorate all kinds of pieces. The new building in Sèvres, where the manufactory moved in 1756, was built on the initiative of Madame de Pompadur. Three years later, it was designated a royal factory, and from that time onwards it was the only one in France to use fine gold. In its early years, the factory produced mainly soft paste; hard porcelain, with kaolin, was not marketed in Sèvres until 1770. Among the innovations of this manufactory in the 18th century were coloured backgrounds and the use of biscuit for small sculptures. During the French Revolution, the factory suffered a decline in production, but experienced a revival between 1800 and 1847 under the direction of Alexandre Brongniart, who brought the factory international fame. During these years, many important technical innovations were made, and a number of contemporary artists collaborated with the manufacture. During this period, a new gilding technique was introduced, which was made shiny by burnishing the surface with an agate stone. The pieces were also decorated with opaque gilding, which was done by rubbing the gold with very fine sand. It was at this time that, for ornamental vases, a cartouche became established as a central theme, in the manner of an oil painting, with a gilt cartouche on a monochrome background. From the mid-19th century onwards, the dominant styles were eclecticism and historicism, and some models revived typologies from the past, such as the Mannerism of Fontainebleau and the Baroque of Versailles.

Law (John, finance minister in France, bap. 1671, d. 1729) Autograph Letter signed to [Louis Henri, Duc de Bourbon], in French, 1½pp. with conjugate blank, 289 x 205mm., Venice, 24th January 1721, in the wake of his banishment from France after the failure of his financial system for the second time, expressing his deep gratitude for a letter written by the duke to the French diplomat Théodore Chevignard, Chevalier de Chavigny (a friend of Law's but also an ally of his powerful opponent Cardinal Dubois), "les absens principalement ceux de mon espece n'ont que peu d'amis, en revenge je ne suis ennemi de personne. Je souhaitte a tous ceux qui servent le regent succes dans leur ministere..." ("Exiles, especially those of my sort, have few friends, and yet I am nobody's enemy. I wish success in their ministry to all those who serve the regent"), folds.⁂ Very scarce; autograph letters signed by John Law rarely appear at auction. "On 5 January 1720... [Law] was appointed controller-general of finance and in April received the more prestigious title of superintendent. In the course of April and May 1720 he was effectively chief minister and minister of finance, a sort of latter-day Cardinal Mazarin and Nicolas Fouquet combined; but on 27 May, the first crisis of his 'financial system', he was temporarily dismissed from office and threatened with imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris. Yet the eclipse was only brief: he returned to office on 2 June with the additional responsibilities of the superintendence of French commerce, the director-generalship of the Banque Royale, and a councillorship of state with a seat in the council of regency. With the collapse of his system Law was forced to offer his resignation on 9 December 1720, and he went into exile abroad... ." - Oxford DNB.

She won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, for her definitive performances as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and Blanche DuBois in the film version of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a role she had also played on stage in London's West End in 1949. She also won a Tony Award for her work in the Broadway musical version of Tovarich (1963).
