Rose marbré (marbled) or chiné (Chinese cracked ice) ground decoration was only produced at Sèvres for a very short period between 1760 and 1763. It was a very time-consuming and intricate technique. The pink ground was fired first, then a blue coating added which was partially scraped off once dry, giving the marbled effect you can see in the present lot, and the gilding was added last (Rosalind Savill, The Wallace Collection Catalogue of Sèvres Porcelain, Vol.II, 1988, p.594).
Madame de Pompadour owned a number of rose marbré or chiné pieces, see Rosalind Savill, Everyday Rococo, Madame de Pompadour & Sèvres porcelain, Vol.II, 2021, pp.1001-1005, 1052 and 1058-1059.
