(see Documentation, Savill, 1988, III) The plateau Hébert, which was used to support a tea set (dejeuner) was made in two forms, with or without handles. One version, had four lobes of equal size on each side and flattened ends, as this one does, and the other had four large lobes with much smaller ones between them. The handles were also of two forms, one plain with foliated terminals, and the other reeded with looped and foliated terminals. This tray has the former type. The trays were being made by November 1752 and a second size was in production in 1753. Models for both survive at the factory. The overglaze bleu nouveau ground colour was introduced in 1763.Jean-Louis Morin (1732-87) was employed at the factory from 1754 until 1787. He became a specialist in painting in military, seascape, and harbour scenes, from the end of the 1750s, having worked earlier on cherubs, birds in landscapes, trophies and, from about 1758-63, Teniers scenes. He was one of the factory's best figure painters.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 lead-glazereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainLengthcm30.5Widthcm22.8referencemedia-40495adlib-media-40495d94f6f6e-4c7b-3383-9a65-418ec863adbdjpegaa/aa23/C_25_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76017029263609031imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_25_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels334widthpixels50017029263609031imagejpegaa/aa23/C_25_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76017029263609031imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_25_1961_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25017029263609031image0media
