It was in production by December 1752, and was being made in two sizes by 1753. Eventually there were five sizes, but these were not clearly identified by the factory. Savill (Documentation 1988) divided them into six size groups A-F, of which this example is size E about 8.9 to 10.5 cm. This style of decoration was described as 'rubans à dentelle' or 'a rubans'. Variants of it were fashionable between 1756 and 1759 especially with green ribbons, but also with bleu lapis, and rose. reference term-106496 adlib-term-106496 bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-251899070993 18th Century, Mid 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 literal Ile-de-France Ile-de-France region Departement: Hauts-de-Seine Sèvres reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Height cm 10.5 reference media-67042 adlib-media-67042 2e2abef6-f876-3bd5-a16b-76ea0ad07cca jpeg aa/aa23/C_2_20_26_20A_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1616247077456 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_2_20_26_20A_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 334 width pixels 500 1616247077456 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_2_20_26_20A_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1616247077456 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_2_20_26_20A_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1616247077456 1 image 0 media image reference media-67043 adlib-media-67043 fc984e57-c4fc-3ca6-8e59-e57fb7c57d47 jpeg aa/aa23/C_2_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616286396648 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_2_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1616286396648 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_2_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 507 1616286396648 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_2_1948.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1616286396648 1 image 1 media image reference media-3273275066 portfolio portfolio-media-3273275066 6787362d-fadd-306c-8fdd-61a3db0ba408 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/639/large_C_2___A_1948_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529202621000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/639/mid_C_2___A_1948_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529202621000 1 image C.2 & A-1948_2_200902_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202621000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/639/preview_C_2___A_1948_2_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529202621000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/639/C_2___A_1948_2_200902_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5120 width pixels 3413 1529202621000 1 image 2 media image reference media-3052491762 portfolio portfolio-media-3052491762 c2086c8d-4866-3c3a-af5a-d27e02f1f0f8 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/638/large_C_2___A_1948_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1529202620000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/638/mid_C_2___A_1948_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1529202620000 1 image C.2 & A-1948_1_200902_mfj22_mas.tif 1529202620000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/638/preview_C_2___A_1948_1_200902_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1529202620000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/436/638/C_2___A_1948_1_200902_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 3413 width pixels 5120 1529202620000 1 image 3 media image reference term-91394 adlib-term-91394 2bb189d3-6008-3a4e-abbb-eb2a240e0739 teapot object name reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover object name reference term-113690 adlib-term-113690 207e9fd2-c0ad-3831-8ed1-f68ea34e9a50 teaware category factory name théière Calabre history note The Collection of the Countess of Chesterfield; sold Christie's 1886.
