'Bleu Fallot' was first produced on a dinner service made as a diplomatic gift from Louis XV to the Austrian ambassador, Prince Starhemberg. A similar part service 'a palmes', also made in 1769, is in the collection of the Dukes of Bedford, Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire. Another slightly later service is in the Hillwood Museum, Washington.
