See D. Peters, op. cit., p. 75, no. 75-2, for a discussion of this service, which included 36 tasses à glace each with '1 cartel d'oiseaux'.
The unusual shape of these is interesting to note, adapted from an egg cup or coquetière, the usual rib below the rim at the mouth has been smoothed out and the foliate ring handle typically used on the baluster-form tasse à glace applied.
