The Sèvres porcelain factory was established in the 18th century and became one of the most prestigious porcelain manufacturers in Europe. The bleu céleste glaze was developed to imitate the highly coveted Chinese blue and white porcelain, which featured intricate blue designs on a white background. Sèvres bleu céleste pieces often showcase delicate hand-painted decorations, gilding, and exquisite craftsmanship. These pieces are highly sought after by collectors and are considered valuable examples of fine porcelain from the Sèvres factory. The term is primarily associated with pieces created during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the peak of Sèvres porcelain production. See less
