Summary
The elephant vases, made in three sizes between 1756 and 1762, are among the rarest and most bizarre forms produced at Sèvres. These examples are distinguished by the pseudo-Oriental, or chinoiserie, scenes painted by Charles-Nicolas Dodin. The artist used as his source engravings representing the senses "Hearing" and "Smell" executed by Gabriel Huquier after paintings by François Boucher. This pair of vases is thought to have been commissioned by Mme. de Pompadour.
