Sevres - Lot 267
Sevres Glass bucket in hard porcelain of the service of Gobelet du Roi with polychrome decoration of garlands of barbs around carmine nets and leaves of mirte around a blue net. Marked: LL interlaced and crowned, letter-date FF for 1783, mark of the painter Taillandier. 18th century, 1783. H. 10 cm. Base in gilded metal. Restoration. Begun in 1782, the service known as the Gobelet du Roi was delivered to Versailles on May 11, 1783, and supplemented each year between 1784 and 1791. The decoration is named in the registers of the work of painters and enfournements preserved in the archives of the Manufacture of Sevres: garlands of barbels accompanied by the designation: Service du Roy (Arch. M.N.S.: Vj'2, f° 141 and VI'2, f° 53). The delivery of March 27, 1784 provides more details on the decoration: "we delivered for the King the supplement of service garland of myrtle and barbels" (Arch. Nat. 01 2061, room 70). It is addressed during successive deliveries to Jean-René-Christophe Roth, controller of the Gobelet du Roi. One hundred and forty-four plain plates were delivered in 1783 at a price of 15 livres each. The service was intended for the table of the officers who were entitled to the second dining room called "salles neuves". The service probably followed the Court when it moved to the Tuileries in 1790. The Château de Versailles now preserves several pieces of this service. Other elements are preserved in the Louvre museum, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Bowes museum, the Victoria and Albert museum or the Schloss Fasanerie in Fulda.
