Vase

Sevres porcelain is known for its use of colors. It is often distinguished by its prominent use of dark blue and turquoise in addition to rose pink, yellow and green. This beautiful vase in royal blue color with ram shaped handles has the letter H encircled in an E-shaped wreath on one side and the painted bust, probably of Catherine II of Russia, on the other side. This vase is said to have been presented by the Emperor Louis XVI of France to Catherine II of Russia.
