The cup has a double-curved outline and entwined branch handle. The saucer is circular with a five-lobed edge, concave curving sides and a slight well in the centre. There is a hole for suspension in the footring of the saucer. The upper part of the cup and the outer part of the interior of the saucer have green grounds divided from the white lower and inner parts by trailing sprays of gold foliage and flowers, forming a wave pattern. Below, or within, in the arcs formed by the dips in the waves, are sprays of polychrome flowers. There are bands of gilding round the foot of the cup and of the saucer and dentilated bands round the lip of the cup, the outer edge of the saucer and the edge of the well. The leaf terminals of the handle are gilded, and there are two broad patches of gilding on the handle itself.C.34 & A-19611accession numberC.34 & A-196193570priref93570urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/93570https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/93570on base of cup and saucerpainted in blue enamelinterlaced Ls enclosing Dfactory marka fleur-de-lison base of cup and saucer, below factory markpainted in blue enamelpainter's marka squareon base of cupincisedincised markon base of saucer to right of suspension holeincised6cincised markreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumL.C.G.

It was made in three sizes with a plain or cinquefoil-shaped saucer. This is the second size. The form had been introduced by October 1752, when ‘7 Gobelets hébert’ and ‘4 Soucoupes Id[em]’were included in a list of biscuit objects awaiting glazing at the beginning of the biscuit firing register. (Bibl. Institute de France, MS 5673 ) The third size followed in 1754. For the association of this type of cup with the name 'gobelet Hébert' see Eriksen, 1968 (see documentation).
This form and pattern are more common with a bleu céleste than a green ground, which was not introduced until 1756, probably not until the autumn. The sales register for 1756 (Vy1 and Vy2) mentions numerous 'gobelet Hébert' described as' bleu céleste et guirlandes', which may have described this pattern. Given the date of the introduction of green grounds it seems likely that this cup and saucer could have been made in 1756 or the early part of 1757.referenceterm-106496adlib-term-106496bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-25189907099318th Century, Mid#referenceterm-15538adlib-term-15538e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1adLouis XVreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvresSèvrespresumed lead-glazereferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-67100adlib-media-671002ea54e01-c133-39f6-8f10-287bb8b2446djpegaa/aa23/C_34_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162471649451imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_34_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels334widthpixels50016162471649451imagejpegaa/aa23/C_34_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162471649451imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_34_20_26_20A_1961.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25016162471649451image0media
