Mennecy, circa 1760

A very elegant "calabre" pot or teapot. Small in size, it is decorated with bouquets and blue and old rose fillets. The lid has a very fine imitation of a flower. 

Probably produced during the Barbin period (between 1754 and 1766) due to the use of a Sèvres form. This piece may therefore have been decorated in Mennecy.

Provenance: Société Industrielle de Mulhouse for over a century, a learned society founded in 1826 by Protestant industrialists, was recognised as being of public utility by a royal decree in 1832.
