Most probably the pair mentionned by Cte de Chavagnac and Mis de Grollier, Histoire des Manufactures Française de Porcelaine (Paris, 1906), p.263: 8 aout 1752; 2 figures vincennes en blanc, joueur de musette et danseuse
See the examples from the Musée National de Céramique, Sèvres and the Musée National, Adrien Dubouché, Limoges, Tamara Préaud and Antoinette Faÿ-Hallé, Exhibition catalogue, Porcelaines de Vincennes, Les Origines de Sèvres (Paris, 1977), p. 159, nos. 469 and 470.

The present figure is applied with very crisp and naturalistic foliage which is only seen on glazed figures and groups of this period, Bernard Dragesco has suggested these are formed form impressions of real leaves.
