This tureen forms part of a service delivered on May 8, 1783 to King Louis XVI for the royal pantries at several of his residences including Versailles and Fontainebleau, likely as a supplement to earlier services from the 1770s, with a decoration listed in the sales registers as "roses et feuillage." Each tureen and stand cost 18 livres. See D. Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, vol. III, 2005 (republished 2015), pp. 683-687.
