Lot Essay

The attribution to Dieu of the painting on the present cup and saucer is based on a comparison between it and the very similar marked example in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London [C.759A-1925]. See A. Dawson, "Sèvres Porcelain in the V: New Light on some Eighteenth Century Hard-Paste Rarities", French Porcelain Society Journal, vol. II, 2005, pp. 8-10, figs. 9-11.
