By Guillemé BRULON and Dorothée Servicio de la Princesa de Asturias. Charles Massin, 2003. In-4° format, full yellow editorial cloth under illustrated color dust jacket, 229 pages. Nearly 200 full-color photographs with detailed captions. Author's presentation: In 1774, King Louis XV commissioned the Sèvres manufactory to create a porcelain service for his granddaughter, the Princess of Asturias. This detailed study reveals unexpected facets of this royal gift: model selection, number of pieces, collaboration of numerous painters (Castel, Chappuis, Buteux Jeune, etc.), diplomatic shipments and transfers, successive supplementary orders through 1791, and copies from the Buen Retiro porcelain factory. A surprising journey through the meticulous examination of a royal service. Fine copy.
