The painter's mark of a script Y may be that of Pierre François Yvernel, active at Sèvres 1750-1759. Cf. Svend Eriksen & Geoffrey de Bellaigue, Sèvres Porcelain, Vincennes and Sèvres 1740-1800, London, 1987, pp. 154, 167-no.135 and Tamara Préaud & Antoine D'Albis, La Porcelaine de Vincennes, Paris, 1991, p. 215
