Jean-Pierre Boulanger, père was active at Vincennes and Sèvres as a gilder 1754-1785
The scene on the cup may be by Jean-Louis Morin (active 1754-1787) to whom can be attributed a garniture of three vases in the Wallace Collection painted with similar marine scenes and also gilt by Boulanger and another in the collection of Upton House, Oxfordshire painted by Morin and gilt by Prévost. Cf. Rosalind Savill, The Wallace Collection: Catalogue of Sèvres Porcelain, London, 1988, nos. 300-302; also Svend Eriksen and Geoffrey de Bellaigue, Sèvres Porcelain, London, 1987, no. 145
The painting on the saucer, although similar, appears to be by a different hand.
