What the image shows

A green and gold porcelain tureen with cherub decorations on its lid and body.

Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.

From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

This tureen’s striking green background, or fond vert , was a major advancement for the Sèvres Porcelain Factory, known for their innovation in and mastery of color. Traditionally the largest, most expensive item in an 18th-century French dinner service, this tureen was part of a porcelain dining set presented to King Frederick V of Denmark by French King Louis XV in 1758. French King Louis XV was a great patron of the decorative arts; he acquired the Sèvres Porcelain Factory in 1759.
