The Greek A factory produced princely services for the European nobility including Nicolas Auguste de la Baume, Maréchel de France (1645-1716), and Louis Alexandre de Bourbon, Comte de Toulouse (1678-1737); for pieces from these services see Henry-Pierre Fourest, Delftware Faience Production at Delft, London, 1980, p. 114, pl. 109.
