He was a versatile artist but not so talented at figure painting as Dodin and Morin. Fom the mid 1760s he concentrated on landscapes with small figures, and in the 1780s also executed continuous landscapes on a coloured grounds, as on this cup and saucer, and C.62 & A-1961.The gobelet litron was named after a cubic measure, the litron, which was normally made of wood, and was used for dry stuffs, such as corn and peas. Its size in Paris had been defined in 1670 as the equivalent of 9.45 cm high and 10.15 cm in diameter in pouces and lignes, which was larger than the largest of the porcelain cups. The first size of gobelet litron had been introduced at Vincennes before October 1752 when it was mentioned in an inventory of stock, but was probably being made earlier.The second and third sizes followed in 1753, and the fourth and fifth in 1757. They could be fitted with one of seven different handle forms . A drawing in the archives at Sèvres is dated 19 February 1753 (MNS, R1, liasse 2, dossier 2, No. 6bis) They were supplied singly, singly with a plateau carré, in ’harlequin’ sets, or as part of matching dejeuner. (See Documentation, Préaux and d'Albis, 1991, Savill, 1988, Bellaigue 2009). This is a gobelet litron of the third size.Yellow grounds were not really popular until about 1775 and then continued to be so through the 1780s, particularly after 1787.
