COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Madame Pompadour, an early and loyal patron of the Sèvres factory, had a pair of similar vases (vase à tête d'éléphant) in her extensive collection. The extraordinary design conveys that elegant extravagance and fine craftsmanship which characterized her taste.
