Maria Josepha, daughter of Friedrich August II, Elector of Saxony, married the heir to the French throne. From Paris, she sent her father this marvel of the art of porcelain – a bouquet of flowers that never wilts. In response to gifts of porcelain from the ruler of Saxony, Louis XV, the King of France, decided to generously fund a still young French porcelain manufactory in Vincennes. Thanks to the royal support, it could create this impressive bouquet just a few years after its foundation, which is a magnificent example of its outstanding skills.
