(section with restuck section and small losses)The design for the coupe 'Chenavard' dates to 1836 and is illustrated in T. Préaud, The Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory - Alexandre Brongniart and the Triumph of Art and Industry, 1800-1847 (1997), p.288, no.91. There is no payment noted in 1836 to Claude-Aimé Chenavard which would correspond to the design drawing, but Hyacinthe Régnier was paid 750 francs to create the plaster model between February and April of that year, see Préaud (1997), p. 288. The first undecorated example was made in December 1836 and the first two decorated ones were entered into the sale registers in the first half of 1837. Further examples were produced in the following years in various colour schemes.Another, earlier, example is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession no. 2003.153).
