| Object history | Acquisition type: Gift |
| Production | Acquired as Moustiers; labelled Marseilles of Moustiers, c. 1750. This pattern was made by both the Veuve Perrin and Fauchier factories at Marseilles: see Dorothée Guillemé Brulon, Moustiers and Marseilles - Sources et rayonnement, Histoire de la Faïence Francaise, Paris, 1998, pp. 87 and 98. The detailing of the feet is closest to the example attributed to Veuve Perrin and dated to thesecond half of the 18th century. See also Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, exhibition catalogue, 'Faïences Françaies, XVIe-XVIIIe siècles', 1980, cat. 106, and Arthur Lane, French Faïence, 1948, pl. 54, the latter illustrating another of this shape in the V&A (C.256-1909). |
