See Documentation, Savill, 1988, III.The putto or cherub holding the lyre and wreath is probably intended to be emblematic of Poetry (Poesie), as a putto in a different pose holding these attributes appears in prints of Boucher’s drawing La Poésie by G. Demarteau, L.-F. de La Rue, and G.L. Hertel after La Rue. A similar putto, with harp but not a wreath occupies a reserve on a covered cup in the British Museum (1948,12-3,47).This is probably a gobelet couvert of the first size (6.4 cm -7 cm) lacking its cover with a handle of Savill's shape C found on gobelet litron, with a saucer of the first size of Bouillard shape. Although the name indicates that a cover should accompany the cup, Savill noted that gobelets couvert sans couvert were listed immediately after gobelets couverts in the Biscuit Kiln register on 10 September 1755 (Institute de France, MS 5673, fol. 43 previously 48)When in Louis Clarke's collection, the painting was attributed to Sioux jeune, but the mark then thought to be his does no have a dot in the centre. Savill has suggested that it might be the mark of Gabriel Rousseau (see Documentation, Savill, 1988). It is found on pieces decorated with cherubs, children, pastoral and harbour scenes.referenceterm-113159adlib-term-1131594bdfb4a7-b307-3dfa-a3d6-8ada4683271e18th Century, third quarter#referenceterm-15538adlib-term-15538e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1adLouis XVreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvrespresumed lead glazereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-39994adlib-media-39994e6f02b6f-8d7f-327b-abef-fdde66a388f5jpegaa/aa23/C_24_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162832567091imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_24_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels334widthpixels50016162832567091imagejpegaa/aa23/C_24_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162832567091imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_24_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25016162832567091image0media
