Parpette worked mainly on this type of decoration between 1780-5. The latter left the factory in 1784, and after 1786 this type of decoration was rarely executed. The decoration of this 18th century set, however, may have been applied in the 19th century.Large covered cups and saucers were used to take hot milk drinks or chocolate and earlier examples were frequently described in the factory's records as a 'gobelet à lait'.referenceterm-106779adlib-term-106779f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a18th Century, Latereferenceterm-14265adlib-term-14265b9f6d73e-26ce-3588-a519-976c2cc93f7fLouis XVIreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvresreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-67169adlib-media-671693764a6a3-7a81-3845-9e91-c217d82f4578jpegaa/aa23/C_57_20_26_20A_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels58516162488799631imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_57_20_26_20A_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels650widthpixels50016162488799631imagejpegaa/aa23/C_57_20_26_20A_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels58516162488799631imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_57_20_26_20A_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162488799631image0media
