Sèvres porcelain - Sèvres

Japanese: セーブル磁器 - セーブルじき(英語表記)Sèvres
Sèvres porcelain - Sèvres
Porcelain made by the French National Porcelain Factory (Sèvres Manufactory). The Sèvres Manufactory was established in 1756 in Sèvres near the Palace of Versailles, and was succeeded by the Vincennes Manufactory, which was built in the Château de Vincennes in 1738. Under the patronage and management of Madame de Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV, very high quality table porcelain was produced, which was provided exclusively for the royal family and aristocrats. In particular, the elegant style, with its blue, red, green, and yellow grounds and white window-like spaces left unpainted, decorated with colorful floral patterns and elegant banquet scenes (→ fetes galantes) by painters Boucher and Greuze, and gold-painted borders, spread the fame of Sèvres porcelain throughout Europe and had a great influence on other manufactories. After Madame de Pompadour's death, Madame du Barry took over management, and the style of the products changed to a neat and classical style. Up until this time, Sèvres porcelain was soft porcelain, but after kaolin for hard porcelain was discovered near Limoges, hard porcelain began to be fired in 1869, and after A. Brognart carried out major reforms at the factory in the 19th century, the factory switched entirely to hard porcelain. With the French Revolution in 1889, the Royal Porcelain Factory was nationalized, and has since remained as the National Porcelain Factory to this day. Representative pieces are on display at the adjacent Sèvres National Museum of Ceramic Art.

フランス国立磁器工場 (セーブル窯) で作られた磁器。セーブル窯は 1738年にバンセンヌ城内に築かれたバンセンヌ窯を前身とし,56年にベルサイユ宮殿近くのセーブルに設立されたもと王立磁器工場。ルイ 15世の愛妾ポンパドゥール侯夫人の後援と管理により非常に品質の高い食卓用磁器が焼かれ,王室や貴族の専用に供された。特に青,紅,緑,黄色の地塗りと,塗残した白い窓状の余白の中に,多彩な花文や,画家ブーシェやグルーズによる雅宴図 (→フェート・ガラント ) が絵付けされ,金彩の縁取りをした清麗な様式は,セーブル磁器の名声を全ヨーロッパに広め,他窯にも大きな影響を与えた。ポンパドゥール夫人の死後はデュ・バリー夫人が管理し,製品の様式は端正なクラシック様式に変った。この頃までのセーブル磁器は軟質磁器であったが,硬質磁器用のカオリンがリモージュ近郊で発見されたのを契機として,69年より硬質磁器も焼かれるようになり,19世紀に入って A.ブロニャールが工場の大改革を行なってからは,全面的に硬質磁器に切替えられた。 89年のフランス大革命によって,この王立磁器工場は国有化され,以後,国立磁器工場として今日にいたっている。付属のセーブル国立陶磁器美術館には代表的な作品を展示している。
