Description.
A lovely Sèvres gobelet litron (coffee can) of the fourth size, painted with a loose floral bouquet and small floral sprays. Dentil gilt rim. Handle shape is illustrated in cat. 198 of Geoffrey de Bellaigue's 'French Porcelain in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen".
Interlaced LLs, with illegible date mark. The painter's mark is also nearly illegible, but the second letter appears to be a J. The first letter is indecipherable. In practice, we cannot determine the year of the piece, but would estimate it to be c1770. Incised numbers 12 and 45 are the marks of the throwers, moulders and repareurs, who fashioned or assembled objects. They incised marks into the clay. Mostly, these marks are unidentified, but provide powerful evidence of authenticity.
Condition.
In excellent antique condition. Minor giltwear.
Dimensions.
4.5cm 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.
