Marc Louis Solon used the pseudonym 'Miles' (as it contained his three initials) on pieces made for the retailer Eugène Rousseau. Rousseau paid for Solon to trial the pâte-sur-pâte technique using porcelain blanks supplied by the Parisian maker Alphonse-Marx Clauss. A related pair of plaques was sold by Bonhams, 12 November 2014, lot 152, one bearing the mark 'E Rousseau, 41 rue Coquilliere 4 1'. The present lot may have been included with the group of plaques brought to England by Solon and sold after he joined Minton. See Bernard Bumpus, Pâte-sur-Pâte (1992), p.52
