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 a few years.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, Préaux 1991, Bellaigue 2009, Savill, 1988) This is a gobelet litron and saucer of the second size with Savill's handle shape B. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-14265 adlib-term-14265 b9f6d73e-26ce-3588-a519-976c2cc93f7f Louis XVI reference term-113750 adlib-term-113750 9c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005 literal France France country Sèvres presumed lead-glaze 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 reference media-67048 adlib-media-67048 44be3f06-a8e6-3dd2-a2aa-3ef707b2dbb2 jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_20_26_20A_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1742585183991 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_7_20_26_20A_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 334 width pixels 500 1742585183991 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_20_26_20A_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 760 1742585183991 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_7_20_26_20A_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1742585183991 1 image 0 media image reference media-67049 adlib-media-67049 a3934a69-7b77-3d6a-b72a-ecaeb6bdd1f7 jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_1956_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 633 width pixels 760 1742585156117 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_7_1956_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 416 width pixels 499 1742585156117 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_1956_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 633 width pixels 760 1742585156117 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_7_1956_20_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 208 width pixels 250 1742585156117 1 image 1 media image reference media-67050 adlib-media-67050 20e28d7d-98f6-33ce-a05f-38d015606d97 jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 695 1742585187513 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/mid_C_7_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 547 width pixels 500 1742585187513 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/C_7_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 695 1742585187513 1 image jpeg aa/aa23/preview_C_7_1956.jpg 1 height pixels 273 width pixels 250 1742585187513 1 image 2 media image reference media-4235664119 portfolio portfolio-media-4235664119 7f88a3f2-6b4d-353b-86a4-b40fdb22a17a jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/241/large_C_7___A_1956_2_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1529203097000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/241/mid_C_7___A_1956_2_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1529203097000 1 image C.7 & A-1956_2_200903_mfj22_mas.tif 1529203097000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/241/preview_C_7___A_1956_2_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1529203097000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/241/C_7___A_1956_2_200903_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 3413 width pixels 5120 1529203097000 1 image 3 media image reference media-355784378 portfolio portfolio-media-355784378 a65f7cc1-f8a6-32c0-8ceb-fe62c60319c0 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/243/large_C_7___A_1956_3_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1536 width pixels 1024 1529203099000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/243/mid_C_7___A_1956_3_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 750 width pixels 500 1529203099000 1 image C.7 & A-1956_3_200903_mfj22_mas.tif 1529203099000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/243/preview_C_7___A_1956_3_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 250 1529203099000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/243/C_7___A_1956_3_200903_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5120 width pixels 3413 1529203099000 1 image 4 media image reference media-907215378 portfolio portfolio-media-907215378 3d59a0ca-1b0f-3e2a-a755-86a9599bfcc3 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/239/large_C_7___A_1956_1_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1529203095000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/239/mid_C_7___A_1956_1_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1529203095000 1 image C.7 & A-1956_1_200903_mfj22_mas.tif 1529203095000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/437/239/preview_C_7___A_1956_1_200903_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1529203095000 1 image 5 media image reference term-91165 adlib-term-91165 d22ea1ae-0f87-36a8-8ece-86eb0f380b42 cup object name reference term-91594 adlib-term-91594 d3814795-e106-33f3-98a0-da73b4855bb6 saucer object name reference term-113690 adlib-term-113690 207e9fd2-c0ad-3831-8ed1-f68ea34e9a50 teaware category factory name gobelet litron et soucoupe history note Louis Colville Gray Clarke, MA, Leckhampton, Cambridge; lent to The Fitzwilliam Museum in 1947; given, 1956 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Ref.
