No. 758-1882. See p. 57. Mark : 'it*-'" r. ;^*/ >*: >V '', PLATE 17 Jug-, with hinged Cover, Sevres, dated 1770, with the mark of the flower-painter Bouillat fils. Height, 5 in. No. 2019-1855. See p. 57. Mark : jR SEVRES 57 panels with charming miniatures of children painted, with the exception of the flesh tints, en camdieu in blue. This manner of painting in a monochrome of blue or crimson is a survival from an earlier period, in which it is often found as the sole decoration on a plain white... ground ; the simple contours of the shapes also point back to an early style. The ecuelle or soup-bowl with cover and stand, shown in Plate 16, selected like the last two pieces from the Jones Collection, is an example of the most sumptuous style of Sevres applied to the decoration of porcelain for useful purposes. It bears the date-letter "P" for 1768. The panels with pastoral scenes in colours by Chabry fils follow closely the manner of Boucher, if he did not actually supply the designs for them ; with the rich gilt scrollwork borders and the turquoise ground they blend in an ensemble of splendid but harmonious effect, admirably in keeping with the gracefully-modelled shapes.
