Provenance:
Acquired by Pierre-Edme-Berthelin de Mauroy, Inspecteur de la Manufacture Royale de Sèvres, on November 25, 1784
Various letters in the Sèvres archives between de Mauroy and Regnier, the factory director, point to the fact that de Mauroy was acting as an intermediary and purchasing the service on behalf of a third party. For a full discussion of the service which included four tureens with stands, see David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century (2005), 84-12, III, pp. 727f.
