The first recorded sale of a plateau carre ‘ a jour’with pierced sides was made to the marchand-mercier, Lazare Duvaux between July 1757 and January 1758. This is the first size, and may have been sold with a cup or a cup and saucer as a dejeuner. These have rarely survived together.The Reverend William Cole, who was in Paris in 1765, went with Horace Walpole to Poirier's shop where the latter paid '10 Louis or Guineas for a single Coffee Cup, Saucer, & a little square Sort of soucoupe, or under-Saucer, to set them on; they were indeed the highest finished Things of the Kind that can be conceived: perfect Jewels that deserve to be set in gold Frames to be admired & looked at, but never to be used for Fear of breaking them.' Rose grounds were first recorded in 1758 but appear on pieces with date letters for 1757, and 1756. They were popular until 1762 and then again between 1772-5. The pink trellis pattern on this tray was described by the factory as ‘rose mosaique’. This tray does not bear a painter's mark but the landscape in the centre is similar in style to one on a rectangular tray with a different rose trellis ground, and date letter for 1757-8, painted by Edmé Goméry, now in the British Museum (See Documentation, Sotheby's 10 December, 1936, and Dawson 1994) reference term-106496 adlib-term-106496 bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-251899070993 18th Century, Mid reference term-15538 adlib-term-15538 e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1ad Louis XV reference term-113750 adlib-term-113750 9c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005 literal France France country Sèvres reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Height cm 2.8 Length cm 14.9 Width cm 14.9 reference media-67064 adlib-media-67064 9b4d9d03-1380-3c2c-b272-dfd92c2bc28f jpeg aa/aa23/C_15_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616268605474 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_15_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1616268605474 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_15_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616268605474 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_15_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1616268605474 1 image 0 media image reference media-67065 adlib-media-67065 9bfa3a95-16d5-3132-831d-d2e166ce48d8 jpeg aa/aa23/C_15_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 646 1616268663202 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_15_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 588 width pixels 500 1616268663202 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_15_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 646 1616268663202 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_15_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 294 width pixels 250 1616268663202 1 image 1 media image reference media-2090311444 portfolio portfolio-media-2090311444 c8405ef0-a8d5-3a56-a831-38f0f1983b80 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/548/large_C_15_1961_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202545000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/548/mid_C_15_1961_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202545000 1 image C.15-1961_2_mas.tif 1529202545000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/548/preview_C_15_1961_2_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202545000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/548/C_15_1961_2_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5120 width pixels 3413 1529202545000 1 image 2 media image reference media-1895247597 portfolio portfolio-media-1895247597 ae11483a-6c41-3b45-9064-4fa405743c06 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/547/large_C_15_1961_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202545000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/547/mid_C_15_1961_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202545000 1 image C.15-1961_1_200902_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202545000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/547/preview_C_15_1961_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202545000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/547/C_15_1961_1_200902_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4992 width pixels 3328 1529202545000 1 image 3 media image reference term-89196 adlib-term-89196 daa8a4b5-42b3-3b6b-bbb3-b5e1703fc2c4 tray factory name plateau carré à jour history note Madame Dhainaut, Paris; sold Sotheby's, 10 December, 1936, Catalogue of a Very Choice Collection of Works of Art, The Property of Madame Dhainaut of Paris, p. 19, lot 72; Louis C.G.
