The present dish is from a service produced at a cost of 25,462 livres and 16 sols, presented to Henry of Prussia by King Louis XVI when the Prince visited the French Court in 1784. A virtually identical example is in the collection of the Musée national de céramique, Sèvres (MNS 15.054). See Versailles et les Tables Royales en Europe XVIIème-XIXème Siècles, cat. no. 301, p. 187 and p. 341.

Michel-Gabriel Commelin is recorded as a painter of flowers, patterns and birds at the factory from 1768 to 1802; Jean Chauvaux le jeune as a gilder and as a painter of patterns from 1764 to 1800.
