A Sèvres egg cup (coquetier) c.1771, painted with two panels of colourful birds perched on and beside leafy branches, within gilt oak leaf borders reserved on a bleu celeste ground, indistinct blue mark, some gilt wear, 4cm. The use of gilt oak leaves on a bleu celeste ground can be seen in the service made for Gustav III of Swede, known as the Prince of Rohan service.
