Lot Essay

Although Madame de Pompadour is recorded amongst the earliest buyers of pieces of this pattern, popular in the 1750's and 1760's, this type of decoration, known as mosaïque, is commonly associated with the service presented in 1760 to Carl Theodore, Elector of Palatine, by Louis XV and now in the Residenzmuseum, Munich. Compare Christie's, London, 12 May 2010, lots 241-243.
