The jug stands on three branch feet. Its bulbous body contracts at the neck and then flares upwards and outwards at the front to form a lip, the rim at the sides being slightly everted and notched. The crabstock handle rises up directly from the rim and curves upwards and then outwards and downwards until it meets the most bulbous part of the body. Small sprays of flowers and foliage in relief sprout from the junctions of the legs and handle with the body. The ground is bleu céleste with a pear-shaped reserve below the lip, painted in polychrome with a bouquet of mixed flowers and foliage, and framed by a band of tooled gilding. Round the neck there are looped garlands of gold leaves, and two sprays descend inside on either side of the lip All the applied flowers and leaves are gilded, and there are touches of gilding on the handle and feet.MAR.C.34-19121accession numberMAR.C.34-191282589priref82589urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/82589https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/82589on two of the feetin blue enamelinterlaced Lsfactory markon the foot under the handlepainted in blue enamelJmarkreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumC.B.

It was in production by October 1752 and a second size had been introduced by March 1753. A third size was made from 1756. This one is of the first size, (see Documentation, Savill, 1988). This decorative format of bleu céleste ground, with flowers in the reserve was extremely popular and long-lived.The tooled design on the gilding round the reserve is close to Savill's 72, (see Savill, 1988, III)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 porcelainHeightcm11.5referencemedia-53594adlib-media-53594c6e103ec-053b-320c-b4d5-f2684516f112jpegaa/aa23/MAR_C_34_1912.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels50716162770567531imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_MAR_C_34_1912.jpg1heightpixels750widthpixels50016162770567531imagejpegaa/aa23/MAR_C_34_1912.jpg1heightpixels760widthpixels50716162770567531imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_MAR_C_34_1912.jpg1heightpixels375widthpixels25016162770567531image0media
