The B. mark on the present piece is possibly for the unnamed flower painter active 1753-57 or for the gilder Jean-Pierre Boulanger, active at Vincennes and Sèvres from 1754-85.

In deciphering the archival listings for this form, it is difficult to differenciate between a pot à pommade and a pot à pâte. Size may be the deciding factor, but equally decoration may play a role. See Antoinette Fäy-Hallée and Tamara Préaud, Porcelaines de Vincennes, Les Origines de Sèvres, Exhibition Catalogue, Grand Palais, Paris, 1977, pp. 80 for a discussion of this issue. The present pot is more likely a pot à pommade that will have cost 3 lives, 10 sols.
