Provenance
The lack of precision in the archives of Sèvres makes it impossible for us to distinguish the different writing cases "blue beautiful background, gold frieze" which came out of Sèvres in 1809. Let us note in particular a livery for Compiègne: "1 writing case blue beautiful frieze gold" , 20/24 frs (Arch. MNC, Sèvres, Vu1, 74, 234-9); another entry to the sales store: "1 writing case with beautiful blue border with gold border", 20/30 frs, Vu1, 82 v °, 246-20. Finally, there is a "beautiful blue jat writing case" which was delivered to the Empress Marie-Louise at the Palais de Saint-Cloud on March 6, 1811 (see image 4).
