Tea service with tray (déjeuner Bolvry)

The Sèvres factory succeeded in making true hard-paste porcelain containing kaolin (white clay) only in 1769. Many new patterns were developed for this kind of porcelain. The painted decoration of this service was influenced by patterned calico fabric (chintz) from India and by enamel from China.
