Vase
<p>As the artistic director of the Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory, the Italian-born goldsmith and designer <a href="https://www.artic.edu/artists/7241/jean-claude-duplessis">Jean-Claude Duplessis</a> (c. 1695–1774) was responsible for many of the innovative forms of the Rococo and early Neoclassical styles that the factory produced. Duplessis designed porcelain vases, tea and dinnerwares, and gilt-bronze mounts for porcelain. These objects often possess a particularly sensual and organic quality that was new to porcelain at the time.</p>
