The fullest account of his career is given by Savill, who records that.that he was one of first painters to work on hard-paste, and was recorded painting Chinoiseries from 1772.The gobelet litron was named after a circular measure, usually wooden, which was used for dry goods, such as corn and flour. It had been introduced at Vincennes before October 1752 when a stock inventory was take, and three sizes were in production in 1753. This is a gobelet litron of the third size.The strange caillouté decoration in gold is reminiscent of a ground pattern executed in gold with blue dots on the sides of a cup in the Royal Collection, and Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue noted another cup with comparable decoration and chinoiserie scenes bearing the date letter for 1779 and painted by Asselin in a private collection (See Documentation, Bellaigue, 2009).referenceterm-14265adlib-term-14265b9f6d73e-26ce-3588-a519-976c2cc93f7fLouis XVIreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvresreferenceterm-32652adlib-term-3265282d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7beglazereferenceterm-37627adlib-term-37627254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7hard-paste porcelainreferencemedia-200407adlib-media-200407c99a66b1-5641-343a-9e06-1cca6202cd3fjpegaa/aa35/C_3_2006_3_200812_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels96916162775467491imagejpegaa/aa35/mid_C_3_2006_3_200812_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels528widthpixels50016162775467491imagejpegaa/aa35/C_3_2006_3_200812_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels96916162775467491imagejpegaa/aa35/preview_C_3_2006_3_200812_mfj22_dc2.jpg1heightpixels264widthpixels25016162775467491image0media
