Lot Essay
Both Marie-Antoinette and her friend the princess de Lamballe ordered services in 1781 described as double blue lines, roses and cornflowers. As a result, it is next to impossible to be sure of which pieces come from which service. Those in the collection of the Musée Gallé-Juillet in Creil almost certainly came from the Lamballe service, owing to their provenance. Another plate from the collection of Charles-Otto Zieseniss was sold Christie's Paris, 6 December 2001.
