A Sèvres ewer (broc 'Roussel'), circa 1758

Of the second size, painted in rose camaieu with trailing and intersecting flower garlands, the interlacing scroll handle heightened in gilding and rose enamel, gilt dentil border to the rim, 19cm high, incised "3 R"(?),

Footnotes

The first mention of a broc Roussel appears in the kiln register for 22 November 1753. This type of object (ewer) was usually accompanied by a circular or oval basin (cf. Marcelle Brunet and Tamara Préaud, Sèvres. Des origines à nos jours, 1978, p. 159, cat. 105.).

Similar examples with stands are in the Wallace Collection (inv. C452-3) and Victoria & Albert Museum, London (inv. 753-1882).
