Description.
Formerly in the collection of Dinah Reynolds, author of 'Worcester Porcelain, 1751-1783, a lovely Sèvres gobelet litron (coffee can) of the third size, painted with a loose floral bouquet and small floral sprays. Dentil gilt rim. Handle shape is illustrated in cat 197 of Geoffrey de Bellaigue's 'French Porcelain in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen".
Interlaced LLs with date mark 'N' for 1766. Unattributed painter's mark 'V'. Incised number 3-being a number used by the company. See cat numbers76, 162, 166, 169, 177, 196, 224 and 245 of Bellaigue. The form of the '3' is identical to that shown in incised mark 186 of Bellaigue.
Condition.
In excellent antique condition, save for a lateral crack running from the left side of the spray to the left of the handle, as one looks at the handle. Minor giltwear.
Dimensions.
6cm in height.

We can do better prices on the website, as we are not paying the ebay commission.
Please note that we do not offer combined postage.
We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps to reduce our environmental footprint!
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
