Pot pourri à vaisseau or pot pourri en navire ("pot-pourri holder as a vessel/ship") is a shape of a number of pot-pourri vases in the shape of masted ships, produced for a number of years from the late 1750s to the early 1760s by the Sèvres manufactory near Paris. The colours and details of the painted decoration vary between examples, as is typical of Sèvres porcelain, and some examples have been placed on later bases of ormolu. The openwork lid lifts off to allow refilling of the pot-pourri. The shape was eventually produced in two or three versions, at slightly different sizes. It was first designed in 1757, probably by Jean-Claude Duplessis (c. 1695-1774), the artistic director of the factory. The first surviving finished example dates to 1759. Another name for them is vaisseau à mat
