Catalogue Note
A pair of pots à jus in this pattern were sold in these rooms, April 24, 1994, lot 123, where the note comments upon the possibility of the pieces being part of a service commissioned for a British family, as by 1790 the Derby factory was manufacturing pieces in this pattern, probably as replacements. A Sèvres ice cup from this service and a Derby example are illustrated by F. Brayshaw Gilhespy, Derby Porcelain, pl. 77.
