Good for Frst-timers,

This review is from: Sevres Then and Now (Hardcover)
This volume is a very beautiful introduction to Sevres and the history of this fabled manufacturer. However, it is just that: sn introduction. I would have welcomed a more vigorous pursuit of some of the fabulous creations still in existence--in private and public hands--as well as more illustrations of same. The photographs are lovely but not exceptional. Overall, good to acquaint those new to Sevres.

Excellent Overview of Sevres Porcelain,

This review is from: Sevres Then and Now (Hardcover)
This book provides an excellent background and overview of the long history of Sevres
procelain production. For me, the best aspect of this book is the beautiful new photography (including technical information)for each of the objects contained in Hillwood's current exhibition.
