| Production | Acquired as 'possibly Paris, Rue de da Roquette' and labelled as 'perhaps François Hébert, Rue de la Roquette, mid-18th century'. The mark is similar to that used at the Dubois 'Trois Levrettes' factory, also on the Rue de la Roquette, and by Locré and Rusinger's factory, La Courtille, Paris. Aileen Dawson, Eighteenth-Century French Porcelain in the Ashmolean Museum, 1996, p. 18, note 6, cites this piece as a example of Hébert's porcelain. Hébert was declared bankrupt in 1755. |
