Plateau à deux pots (part of a dinner and dessert service) 1795-97
-
Soft-paste Sèvres porcelain tray with a pair of fixed confiture pots and covers. Green ground and gilded decoration with four reserves of posies of polychrome flowers tied with differently coloured ribbons. Covers painted with a garland on a white band encircling their acorn-shaped gilded knobs
Provenance
Recorded, in part only, in 1826 in the Confectionary, Carlton House. The pieces are entered under two numbers so it may be expected that a division would be made by classifying the pieces making up the dinner service separately from those forming the dessert service, particularly as the heading for the first entry reads, ‘A Dessert Service …’. However, such a division was evidently not followed.
