A Sèvres ice cup (tasse à glace) c.1768-71, painted with a panel containing a small flower spray, within a gilt foliate border on a bleu lapis ground with gilt caillouté decoration, unmarked, 6.5cm. Provenance: purchased from John Whitehead on 16th April 1989. The lack of a date mark makes the attribution of this ice cup to a specific service difficult. Gilt caillouté decoration had three main periods and this is likely to date from either 1768 or 1771. The Royal Danish Collection holds a service presented to Christian VII of Denmark when he visited France in 1768, but the decoration is also extremely close to a service made for Louis XVI c.1770, with similar examples in the collection at Woburn Abbey. For a discussion of this service see David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, Vol. II, pp. 429-432.
