Acquired as Moustiers, and said to be from a set of 12. According to the register:
'A somewhat similar dish is shown in C. Damiron, La faience de Moustiers, 1919, pl LXI, 343, which has a mark referring to the partnership of Joseph Bondil and Jean Francois Thion, which began in 1758 or 1760. cf also pl. LX, 341 [continued in another hand] described as from Feraud's factory. Now held to be Lyon (Joseph factory) as similar to C. Damiron, La faience de Lyon le XVIIIe siecle, pl. II, no. 14'
For a very similar dish, painted in the manner of Moustiers, attributed to Lyon and dated c. 1740-70 see Dorothée Guillemé Brulon, Lyon & Nevers - Sources et rayonnement, Histoire de la Faïence Francaise, Paris, 1997, p. 28.
