The service was dispersed after the death of Philippe-Egalité, and about 600 pieces were purchased by the London dealer, Fogg. These were acquired by George, Prince of Wales and are now at Windsor Castle. Eighty pieces are in the Musées royaux d’Art et d’Historie, Brussels. There are also pieces in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Arras; the Musée royal de Mariemont, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, the Musée national de Céramique, Sèvres, and various private collections. However most of the cups and saucers have gold rinceaux beween the reserves rather than diaper or trellis patterns, and this cup and saucer may not be from that service.. The birds were derived from the comte de Buffon,' L'Histoire naturelle génénerale et particulière, Les oiseaux', Paris, 1785. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-15277 adlib-term-15277 438819e9-2604-383c-a162-209699b7abc1 literal Belgium Belgium country now Belgium Tournai clear; presumed lead-glaze 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 reference term-107532 adlib-term-107532 f00fbddb-30d4-39ff-bcf3-a87fbac64158 cup and saucer reference term-91165 adlib-term-91165 d22ea1ae-0f87-36a8-8ece-86eb0f380b42 cup reference term-91594 adlib-term-91594 d3814795-e106-33f3-98a0-da73b4855bb6 saucer history note unknown before donor reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf. p. 8, lot 35 and pl. 3, a ewer and basin from the Duc d'Orléans service, the basin illustrated 8 reference publication-5689 adlib-publication-5689 476f4db9-24a7-394e-993e-eb00ddb172f7 Highly Important French and English Furniture . . . and A Collection of Fine Continental Porcelain the Property of David Stalder, Esq.
