The form of this vase is called a Potiche Ovoide Allongée. Leopold Gély was one of a group of artists at Sèvres specialising in applied slip (pâte-sur-pâte) decoration of whom the best known are Taxile Doat (born 1851) and Mark-Louis-Emmanuel Solon (1835-1913), who brought the technique to England.
