See Vol. II, pp. 598-602 for a large rectangular tray, <i>grand plateau carré</i>, C390, with the same decoration of a pink trellis ground and fishing scenes of polychrome children after Boucher, marked with date letter 'E' for 1757 (now thought to be 1758). p. 601 'Since the pieces in the Victoria and Albert Museum are dated 1761 and have a paler rose ground, they are unlikely to have belonged with it.' Also the V & A items have a quatrefoil shaped pink ground cartouche, wheras the Wallace Collection tray has a scroll-edged cartouche.
