Jean-Jacques Bachelier, active at Vincennes and Sèvres 1748/51-1793.
The initial B on biscuit figures was employed solely while he was directeur de sculpture from 1751-7 and 1766-73.
Bachelier, the self-proclaimed inventor of biscuit porcelain (1749), was directeur artistique (decoration) 1751-1793. This position included the supervision of the atelier de sculpture until 1757 when Falconet assumed these duties, and again in 1766 upon Falconet's depature for Russia.
