Dauterman, The Wrightsman Collection, Porcelain, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, vol. IV, 1970, no. 108, reproduced. David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, Little Berkhamsted, 2015, vol. 2, n°71-5, p. 468. This plate is mentioned by David Peters as having the same decoration as one of the two Sèvres porcelain services presented by Louis XV on October 1, 1771 to His Swedish Majesty, King Gustav III and his brother Prince Frederick, Duke of Östergötland, but with a slight variation in the gilding. A large part of this service is preserved at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. It may therefore have been a sample plate for the King of Sweden's service.
