About the Item

Chocolate maker. Enameled porcelain, wood, etc. Sèvres, France,late 18th century. Marks on base. Enameled porcelain jug with a spout and lid featuring a garland decoration with ribbons and loose flowers on the exterior, a carved wooden handle, and a wooden stick at the top, protruding through the gap in the lid. The base, handle, lid, and top of the jug feature silver-tone metal parts that still retain some gilding (see lid and top, inside). Marks can be clearly seen on the base. According to consulted sources, the intertwined double L with the G inside corresponds to the Sèvres works of 1759 and 1760. The so-called Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, located in the French city of the same name, was founded in 1740 (as the Vicennes Manufactory) with the support of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour. They moved to Sèvres in 1756 and, around this time, were producing bone china with innovations in background colors and the use of biscuit in small sculptures. Hard porcelain was marketed in Sèvres from 1770. Compare this work with the top of a Louis XVI table in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (ca. 1775–1791; inventory 1975.1.2032), a covered bowl and saucer (écuelle) in this museum (Sèvres, 1764; inventory 50.211.149a, b, .150), a Sèvres jug decorated by François Binet, 1756/57 (Metropolitan, inventory 30.58.8), a pair of square sherds decorated by Charles-Louis Méreaud (1760, Metropolitan Museum, inventory 64.159.2a, b, .3a, b), the Louvre tableware (TH 809–1066) dated to the 18th century and painted by Charles Vandé, etc. · Size: 21x14x28 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
