Lot Footnotes
Note: The bleu céleste pointillé-ground teacup and saucer is made in the style of the 1770 service purchased by the comtesse du Barry (Madame du Barry’, the last mistress of King Louis XV of France), for use at the Château Louveciennes, the château given to her by the king in 1769, or the very similar service made for Sir Penistone Lamb, later Lord Melbourne and later (1781) Viscount Melbourne of Kilmore. For a discussion of these almost identical 18th century services, see David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, Little Berkhamsted, 2005, Vol. II, no. 70-5, pp. 435-436, and 71-2, pp. 447-448. A bottle-cooler from the du Barry service was sold in the Augustus Collection sale at Christie’s, New York, on 7th October 2022, lot 48.
