VINCENNES - Lot 192
VINCENNES Rare ordinary water pot of the first size in soft porcelain with polychrome decoration of bouquets of flowers in two cartouches surrounded by gold rocaille scrolls standing out on a purple background. Marked : LL interlaced, letter-date C for 1756, mark of the painter Charles Méreaud. 18th century, 1756. H. 17.5 cm. A piece glued back and a crack on the rim, the pebbled gilding on the purple background faded. A very small number of porcelains of Vincennes with purple background were made by the factory. The only ones known today are a King's glass bucket in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, a pair of Pompadour pot-pourris in the collections of the Musée de Sèvres, a pair of relief vases for the Turk and a drinking pot sold by Sotheby's in 2006 (Sotheby's, London, 26 November 2002, lot 168), all of which are reproduced in Tamara Préaud and Antoine d'Albis, Porcelaine de Vincennes, 1992, pp. 126-127.
