The Service des Arts Industriels (Arts and Industries Service) was one of the most beautifully decorated and politically motivated porcelain services produced at the Sevres Factory in the nineteenth century., Made during the years between 1820 and 1835, each piece from the set was ornamented with a different scene showcasing French artistic and industrial production. The center of this plate features a scene from a brewery, with barrels being washed at the right.
