Description
An unusual Sèvres sucrier and cover date code for 1777, decorated to two sides with a harp between gilt laurel swags and beneath a ring of pink roses, the cover surmounted with a fruit finial, interlaced LL mark, and painter's mark, 8cm dia. (2)
The unusual decoration may relate to an Irish family, and the sucrier was perhaps part of a commission tea or coffee service. However, no record has been found of the other pieces as yet.
