THE PORCELAIN CIRCA 1780, SPURIOUS GILT INTERLACED L'S AND GILDER'S MARK FOR VINCENT, PRE, THE JEWELLING OF LATER DATE

Current scholarship has proposed that jewelling similar to that on the present example was executed in the 19th century. A re-evaluation of these pieces, most on a white ground and with traces of jeweller's rouge seeping out from under the foil, has turned up several examples in prominent collections and with spurious marks for the noted gilder Henr-Franois Vincent similar to those on the present example.
