The ACuTe Project ("Antiquity in a Cup of Tea") consists in an extensive study of the 525 vases of Dominique Vivant Denon's collection that Louis XVI acquired in 1786 and stored "temporarily" in the Royal Porcelain Manufacture of Sèvres. Most of the vases are still kept in Sèvres today, but have been the object of very little scholarly attention. The ACuTe Project intends to establish, whenever possible, the provenances of Denon's vases. Two methods have been followed. One of them consists in comparing the Sèvres vases with the funerary material of recently discovered and well-documented tombs: this allows us to establish probable areas of provenance, thanks to formal comparisons and to attributions to given workshops or painters. Another method consists in exploring 18th and early 19th century publications and archival documents that sometimes provide us with hints on the original contexts of Denon's discoveries. Another crucial document is the map of Denon's travels that can be found in Saint-Non's Voyage pittoresque de l'Italie. It appears that Denon's collection brings together vases discovered in Daunia (especially Lucera), in coastal Peucetia (in the area of Bari), and in Campania. A dozen of vases were bought from the Mastrilli collection and are even illustrated in the Spiega di vasi antichi of Felice Maria Mastrilli (Getty manuscript).
