| Production | Acquired as Pont-aux-Choux c. 1770; for a related tureen but with different relief decoration and finial see Dorothée Guillemé Brulon, La Faïence fine francaise, 1750-1867, Paris, 1995, p. 73, where attributed to Luneville and dated c. 1749-85. Examined by Christian Maire November 2004, who suggested it was perhaps made at Sceaux, as the moulded decoration is similar in style to painting on Sceaux faience. |
