For example, two juice pots, one with cover, jewelled in green, red, and turquoise on a white ground gilded by Vincent (2000), and dated to c. 1780 and are in the Hermitage. (See Documentation Birioukova and Kasakevitch, 2005), A milk jug in the British Museum, also with 2000 gilder’s mark, is described as 18th century, with decoration later, probably late 19th century. (see Documentation, Dawson, 1994). It is possible that this cup was decorated in the 19th century. A miniature gobelet litron with decoration very close to that on the Fitzwilliam's cup is at Haughton, Norfolk. Jewelled enamelling is recorded as being introduced by Philippe Parpette, a flower painter at the factory, and Joseph Cotteau, an Parisian enameller in 1778. Parpette worked mainly on this type of decoration between 1780-5. The latter left the factory in 1784, and after 1786 this type of decoration was rarely executed. The jewelled decoration was created by placing drops of translucent or opaque enamel over gold foils of different shapes formed by steel dies, and firing them so that they fused. The motif was then attached to the porcelain by an enamel and fired again at a lower temperature. This technique had been used much earlier on silver foil on early 16th century Limoges enamels on copper, and was also used, somewhat differently to create jewel effects on gold snuffboxes. The designs were usually by J.-B.-E. Genest, head of the artists’ studio, and the steel dies were made by the Parisian engraver Jean-Pascal Le Guay (see Documentation, Bellaigue, 1979) The gobelet litron was named after a cubic measure, the litron, which was normally made of wood, and was used for dry stuffs, such as corn and peas. Its size in Paris had been defined in 1670 as the equivalent of 9.45 cm high and 10.15 cm 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 made earlier.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, Savill, 1988, Bellaigue 2009,) This is a gobelet litron of the third size with Savill's handle shape B. When inventoried by Sotheby’s in October 1948, the gilding was attributed to Henry-Martin Prévost, but the joined form of the HP or IP is not similar to his mark. reference term-120998 adlib-term-120998 f836095f-43c8-3016-826a-de974dd72678 18th Century, Late-19th Century, Mid 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 Height cm 5.8 reference media-59082 adlib-media-59082 bab6b3ec-c65b-308c-a13c-7fb663271ef1 jpeg aa/aa23/C_56_1961.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 642 1616274703421 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_56_1961.jpg 1 height pixels 592 width pixels 500 1616274703421 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_56_1961.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 642 1616274703421 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_56_1961.jpg 1 height pixels 296 width pixels 250 1616274703421 1 image 0 media image reference media-1504262525 portfolio portfolio-media-1504262525 2af0b94c-24e7-3b40-b0d9-1736fc6bc66e jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/134/large_C_56_1961_200904_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1279 width pixels 1024 1529203013000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/134/mid_C_56_1961_200904_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 624 width pixels 500 1529203013000 1 image C.56-1961_200904_mfj22_mas.tif 1529203013000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/134/preview_C_56_1961_200904_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 312 width pixels 250 1529203013000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/134/C_56_1961_200904_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4262 width pixels 3413 1529203013000 1 image 1 media image reference term-91165 adlib-term-91165 d22ea1ae-0f87-36a8-8ece-86eb0f380b42 cup factory name gobelet litron category teaware history note Louis C.G.
