Svres porcelain, one of the most luxurious brands of ceramics, was a favourite among European royalty, aristocracy and collectors of the 19th and 20th centuries. It was the official porcelain manufacturer to the crown, and became the preeminent porcelain company in Europe in the second half of the 18th century.

Over time, Svres produced both soft-paste and hard-paste porcelain, with exquisite designs and decorations. It also introduced the delicate "biscuit porcelain," a natural-toned, unglazed form of porcelain, often moulded as sculptures portraying scenes from classic mythologies or pastoral life. The company also developed unique colours such as the rose Pompadour, characterised by its rose-pink ground colour, and bleu de roi, a cobalt-blue enamel. Today, Svres produces both traditional and contemporary porcelain on commission, and continues to hold a prestigious place in the porcelain industry.
