Its size in Paris had been defined in 1670 as the equivalent of 9.45 cm high and 10.15 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 earlier (records are lacking).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 second size which was in production by 1753 with Savill's handle shape C, and tooling pattern 5. The trophies are typical of the gaily coloured ones painted by Charles Buteux. Unsuccessful as a figure painter in his early years at the factory, he became ts most prolific painter of trophies and attributes.referenceterm-106496adlib-term-106496bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-25189907099318th Century, Mid#referenceterm-15538adlib-term-15538e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1adLouis XVreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvrespresumed leadreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-38788adlib-media-38788e9b824ee-1a59-3178-a25f-1c2aeaf8a4d4jpegaa/aa23/C_2X_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76017029263783711imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_2X_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels334widthpixels50017029263783711imagejpegaa/aa23/C_2X_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76017029263783711imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_2X_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25017029263783711image0media
