介绍（中）	特别是在 1760 年代和 1770 年代，塞夫尔工厂不断推出具有新形式、新装饰类型甚至新功能的产品。在此之前，高品质的壁灯由镀金青铜或镀金木材制成。用瓷器生产它们是一项重大的技术成就，在瓷器曲线的区域，这些物体上的小烧制裂缝证明了所涉及的困难。也许模塑和烧制瓷壁灯的挑战解释了为什么生产如此之少的瓷器壁灯。1761 年至 1768 年间，塞夫尔制作了大约 20 双，在此期间，这些非凡的物品会流行起来。它们明显的滚动形式结合了树叶和浆果，蜿蜒的轮廓是装饰艺术中高洛可可式设计的缩影。他们显然受到高度尊重;蓬巴杜夫人拥有两对，路易十五在1762年购买了至少十对绿地。
介绍（英）	In the 1760s and 1770s in particular, the Sèvres factory consistently introduced products with new forms, new types of decoration, and even new functions. Until that time, sconces of high quality were made either of gilt bronze or gilt wood. It was a significant technical achievement to produce them in porcelain, and small firing cracks on these objects in areas where the porcelain curves testify to the difficulties involved. Perhaps the challenges in molding and firing porcelain sconces explain why so few of them were produced. About twenty pairs were made at Sèvres between 1761 and 1768, the period during which these remarkable objects would have been in fashion. Their pronounced scrolling forms incorporating leaves and berries and their sinuous profile epitomize high Rococo design in the decorative arts. They were clearly held in high esteem; Madame de Pompadour owned two pairs, and Louis XV acquired at least ten with a green ground in 1762.
