Franois-Joseph Aloncle, painter at the factory from 1758-81.

See Rosalind Savill, The Wallace Collection Catalogue of Svres Porcelain (1988), vol. III, pp. 995-6 for a full discussion of Aloncle's production and the problems of dating. He is not recorded as joining the factory until 1758, although some pieces which have his mark and are certainly by his hand bear the date letter for 1757.

The tiroir pieds first appears in the sales records for 1756.
