This tray bears an incised mark commonly found on Sèvres porcelain, but the decoration was almost certainly added later. This tray has no date letter, and the four dot mark on the footring is similar to that of Théodore, now identified as Pierre-Théodore Buteux, but who did not begin working at the factory as a painter of blue edgings and gilder until 1765. Peters preferred to attribute the mark of four dots and one dot to an unidentified painter of birds c. 1758 reference term-15538 adlib-term-15538 e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1ad Louis XV reference term-113750 adlib-term-113750 9c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005 literal France France country Sèvres 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 Length cm 29.5 Width cm 25.1 reference media-41341 adlib-media-41341 943595e4-479e-33a7-824a-e0e1f1229eb3 jpeg aa/aa23/C_27_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1616267137379 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_27_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 334 width pixels 500 1616267137379 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_27_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1616267137379 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_27_1961_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1616267137379 1 image 0 media image reference media-41340 adlib-media-41340 750cdf21-b1fe-3d5f-b8bb-e093c86eaefe jpeg aa/aa23/C_27_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 570 width pixels 760 1616261011404 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_27_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1616261011404 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_27_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 570 width pixels 760 1616261011404 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_27_1961_20_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1616261011404 1 image 1 media image reference media-3214914833 portfolio portfolio-media-3214914833 4e2fcb92-22cd-3ef1-8dd2-5686f8f41eec jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/767/large_C_27_1961_2_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1529202722000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/767/mid_C_27_1961_2_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1529202722000 1 image C.27-1961_2_200901_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202722000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/767/preview_C_27_1961_2_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1529202722000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/767/C_27_1961_2_200901_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 3413 width pixels 5120 1529202722000 1 image 2 media image reference media-3494021804 portfolio portfolio-media-3494021804 c875a295-62fa-3c57-ac13-65671203574a jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/765/large_C_27_1961_1_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1529202720000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/765/mid_C_27_1961_1_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1529202720000 1 image C.27-1961_1_200901_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202720000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/765/preview_C_27_1961_1_200901_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1529202720000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/765/C_27_1961_1_200901_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 3413 width pixels 5120 1529202720000 1 image 3 media image reference term-89196 adlib-term-89196 daa8a4b5-42b3-3b6b-bbb3-b5e1703fc2c4 tray plateau history note lent to the Fitzwilliam Museum by L.C.G.
