Production Note
Dated by Arthur Lane (French Faïence, 1948, pl. 69) to 1749-60. However, according to Dorothée Guillemé Brulon (Strasbourg & Niderviller - Sources et rayonnement, Histoire de la Faïence Francaise, Paris, 1999, p. 13) the mark was introduced in 1754 and continued to be used after Paul Hannong's death in 1760.
