There are stones and grasses in the foreground and hazy trees in the background. The rim is decorated with red and gold oeil-de-perdrix on a pale yellow ground with three rectangular reserves with cut-out corners, framed by gold bands tooled alternatively with areas of striations and criss-cross trellis, each painted in polychrome with a bird in a landscape: 'Petite Perruche verte de Cayenne', 'Le Grand Pingoun des Mers du Nord' and 'Oye de Guinée'. Between them there are three small, oval reserves painted en grisaille with female heads in profile, two facing to the left, and one to the right. There are bands of gilding round the inner and outer edges of the rim.

The grand duke was the uncle of Tsar Nicolas II (brother of his father). 1784 CE 1784 The plate bears the date letter for 1784 circa 1784 factory reference agent-161360 adlib-agent-161360 7b3ff8f7-d7ff-380d-8d45-22cbd06ada8e Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory There was intense interest in natural history during the mid 18th century, and this was reflected in the popularity of bird decoration on porcelain. The birds on this plate were copied from the comte de Buffon's 'Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière avec la Description du Cabinet du Roi, Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux', Paris, 1770. The' Petite Perruche verte de Cayenne', from Vol. VI, 1779, p. 259, and illuminated pl. no. 359. The 'Oye de Guinée' from vol. IX, 1783, p.72, pl. III, and illuminated pl., no. 367. 'Le Grand Pingouin des Mers du Nord', from vol. IX, 1783, p. 393, and illuminated pl. no. 367. The 'Oye de Canada', vol. IX, 1783, p. 82, and illuminated pl. no. 346 which is called 'Oie sauvage du Canada'. Buffon calls this bird 'L'Oie à Cravatte, Dixième éspèce', with a footnote 'The Canada Goose', and refers to George Edwards, 'History of Birds', III, pl. 151 (the most famous English book on birds which was also used as a source of designs for Sèvres porcelain). This plate may have been one of group of variously decorated plates sold on 20 March 1784 to the Amsterdam dealer Jean-Baptiste Lefebvre, who later in the same year ordered a service with a fond Taillandier vert et oil de perdrix with bird painting after Buffon. One of the plates sold in March cost 66 livres, the same price as those in the fond Taillandier vert service, which suggests that it might have had comparable decoration. reference term-106779
