Antique French Porcelain
19th Rare Sèvres Style Porcelain Cup, France.
The cup is decorated with romantic scene inspired by the work of Francois Boucher. Gilt crowned Sevres interlaced \"LL\" mark on base, enclosing date letter \"A\" for 1753, \"29\" gilder\'s mark (?).
I belive this is an example of surdécoré Sevres porcelain. During the eighteenth century, the Royal Porcelain Manufactory at Sèvres continually sold off its stock of undecorated pieces, which were then generally overpainted (surdécoré) by outside artists later. The mark may have been altered in ancient times when it was decorated, by inserting an A for 1753 within the crossed L\'s of the factory mark. In this way, the prestige of having been issued by Vincennes at the inception of the datemarking system can be bestowed unjustly upon a piece of later date.
