| Credit line | Presented by Lt. Col. K. Dingwall, DSO with Art Fund support |
| Production | About 1762-70, with later enamelling; acquired as possibly Mennecy. Register contains references to discussion of DCO mark. In 1985 J. V. G. Mallet noted that like C.436-1920, which has part of this mark, this group shows signs of refiring, and suggested that the decoration was probably 19th century. For further discussion of this group, and an attribution to Crépy, see C. Le Corbeiller and L. Roth, French 18th century porcelain at Wadsworth Atheneum, 2000, cat. 51 and A. Dawson, French Porcelain: A Catalogue of the British Museum Collection, 1994, pp. 250-4. |
