The present teapot and the other example in this sale (lot 104) are two of the earliest examples made, the form produced between 1818 and 1846 as a stand-alone teapot. Later examples featured more elaborate decoration such as that of 1827 now in the collection at Sevres-Cite de la ceramique (MNS 24.784).Three of the five easily located extant examples were at one time in the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Krehbiel. The third, an agate blue-ground pot painted and gilt in the style of Chinese cloisonne enamel, purchased from Dragesco-Cramoisan in October 2006, was a gift to the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010.Fragonard was paid 30 francs for his design. His watercolor of it, retained in the factory" archives (2011.3.900, reproduced here), is almost identical to the present pot, with decoration of a coral red fretwork frieze enriched in gilt on a powdered lavender ground.The salesroom entry records for 26 December 1818 include the first eight examples of the theiere chinoise Fragonard. The Sevres factory held its annual selling exhibition at the Palais du Louvre 29 December 1818-8 January 1819. In total, seventeen examples are recorded between 1818 and 1821, each priced at 36 francs. These were almost certainly a solid ground color with a fretwork frieze similar to the two examples in the present sale. The present example, with its incised kiln date of October 1819 is obviously from this group. Two with a blue ground enriched in gilt and priced at 55 francs may be similar to an example of 1819-1820 sold at auction at Drouot by Audap & Associes, Paris, 10 December 2020, lot 134. Between 1827 and 1846, eight further examples of the form are recorded with richer decoration. The teapot now at the Art Institute dated 1832-1835 (2010.583a-b) may be from this group. The factory markings on this teapot present a conundrum, in that the gilder" mark appears to predate the kiln date. The incised kiln date 19-10 is written in a typical 18th century hand, the loop of the 9 not closing completely. It is the inscribed gilding date of 1818 that must be incorrect. M…. may be for Jean-Louis Moyer (active 1818-1848), recorded at Sevres as a gilder who used a wide capital M as his mark. Looking at the dates involved, the present teapot with its patently incorrect gilding year will have been one of his first pieces, so perhaps one can excuse the error.Photo Credit: © RMN-Grand Palais / Art Resource, NYIn good condition with negligible wear to the angles of both pot and cover.

A Sevres Beau Bleu Porcelain Coffee Can and a Saucer (Gobelet 'Litron', 2eme Grandeur et sa Soucoupe, 3eme Grandeur)Circa 1785the cup with gilt interlaced Ls and incised 36D F, the still life painting attributed to Micaud, the gilding to Le Guay, the saucer with blue interlaced Ls enclosing date letter HH, painter's mark for Julien le jeune, unidentified PR and incised 117; the cup painted in colors with a still life of fruit and flowers in a basket on a marble ledge reserved within a gilt cisele band and with tiny gold foil stars applied to the cobalt blue ground, the substitute saucer with a central jewelled star within a sunburst, the border with gilt foil stars between gilt bands.Height of cup 2 3/4 inches; diameter of saucer 4 5/8 inches.This lot is located in Chicago.Provenance:Mary Poter Walsh, Oklahoma City;Christie", New York, Fine French and Continental & European Ceramics and [...], 16-18 November 1999, Lot 221 Rinceaux, Palm Beach, no. 1101, 30 May 2000 (with invoice) Note:The present gobelet 'Litron' is almost certainly a cup missing from a part cabaret retained in the British Royal Collection. In 1826, an inventory of the Confectionary at Carlton House noted 'no. 239: A Dejeuni of blue with gold stars, painted in fruit and flowers. Consisting of five Cups & Saucers, Teapot, Sugar Bason and Cover, Cream Ewer and Slop Bason.' Of these, only the sugar bowl and cover (pot a sucre 'Calabre' 1ere grandeur), one cup (gobelet 'Litron', 2eme grandeur) and two saucers (soucoupes, 2eme grandeur) remain in the Royal Collection. A comparison of the present cup with the illustrations in Sir Geoffrey" comprehensive catalogue leave little doubt that the still lifes of a basket of flowers on a marble table found on each piece are by the same hand. That the factory mark on the present cup also corresponds to the other pieces in this cabaret helps solidify the attribution of the lush still life painting on the present cup to Jacques-Francois Micaud pere (active 1757-1810 as a flower painter), the stars and gilding to Le Guay (active 1751-1797 as a gilder), and the piece itself as originally part of this service.See Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue, French Porcelain: In the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen, London, Vol. III, cat. no. 251, pp. 895-898 for a detailed discussion of these pieces and of what is almost certainly the payment records for Micaud and Le Guay when they worked on this service, executed between May 1784 and April 1785.Julien le jeune (active 1784-1786), is recorded at Sevres as a painter specializing in flowers and as a gilder. His mark appears only on the slightly small replacement saucer with gilt decoration.In generally good condition, some foil stars starting to lift or lacking a point here and there.Condition reports are available upon request.

A Sevres Bleu Celeste Porcelain Seven-Piece Tea Service (Dejeuner 'Courteille')Circa 1780each bearing blue interlaced Ls enclosing date letters cc below painter's mark of a comma for Mereaud le jeune and above gilder's mark '#' for Chavaux pere, with various incised marks; painted with trailing flower garlands and wreaths, the shaped turquoise border richly gilt and chased with a laurel garland, echoing the shape of the border edged with a gilt cisele band, comprising a shaped rectangular two-handled tray, a teapot and cover, a sugar bowl and cover and four cups and saucers; 7 items total.Length of tray over handles 14 1/4 inches.This lot is located in Chicago.Note:A 'dejeuner' is the name given to a small tea or coffee set with a matching tray, the name for the overall set dictated by the shape name given the tray. In this case, it is a shaped serpentine rectangular tray or plateau 'Courteille' with rounded corners and angled side handles, named after the marquis de Courteille, the King" representative in charge of the Vincennes/Sevres manufactory, to whom the first example of this tray was presented in December 1753. Sales records show Dejeuner 'Courteille' produced from 1757 into the 1780s.The selection of pieces making up the set can vary, as can the size and shape of the tray and of the individual pieces, the complement of pieces dictating the use for the dejeuner. The present dejeuner of a theiere 'Calabre', 3eme grandeur, a pot a sucre 'Bouret', 2eme grandeur, and four gobelets 'Litron' et soucoupes, 3eme grandeur resting on a plateau 'Courteille' originally will have included a pot a lait a trois pieds, likely 2eme grandeur. The individual pieces comprising the set will have been completed at the same time by the same decorators, resulting in identical factory, painters and gilders marks on each piece, as is the case here. With four cups, it is the largest such service produced, although the cups themselves are likely the smallest.Dejeuner 'Courteille' can be found in The Wallace Collection, the Wadsworth Atheneum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, among others.
