| Production | According to the register this was probably modelled by Lemire (ie Charles-Gabriel Sauvage, known as Lemire, 1741-1827, who left Luneville sometime before 1779 and subsequently worked at Niderviller). Reproduced by W. B. Honey, French Porcelain (1950 and 1972), pl. 91, where dated to about 1765-75. Aileen Dawson, Eighteenth-century French porcelain in the Ashmolean Museum, 1996, cat. 219, illustrates a similar model, which she dates to ca. 1780. |
