Panther By Paul Milet, Sèvres

Artist: Paul Milet, Sèvres 1870-1950

Paul Milet was the son of the ceramist Félix Optat Milet (1838–1911). After training at the Sèvres Manufactory’s laboratory, he became a chemist and worked at the factory founded by his father in 1866

Beginning in 1890, he gradually took over from his father. Like his father, he continued to benefit from the collaboration of artists from the Sèvres National Ceramics Manufactory

Paul Milet began signing his pieces “MP Sèvres” within a dotted circle, either upon joining the business or, more likely, starting in 1911, upon the death of his father, Félix Optat Milet.
Over the years, the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactorybecame concerned about potential confusion between the two companies’ products. Faced with the threat of a lawsuit, Paul Milet changed his mark by reversing the initials. On October 4, 1930, he registered the “PM Sèvres” mark within the same dotted circle.

Our piece bears the trademark registered in 1930: PM Sèvres made in France
