Lahaussois, Porcelaines de Saint-Cloud, Paris, 1997, pp. 125-126 and 132, nos. 162-164. Also see B. Rondot ed., Discovering the Secrets of Soft-Paste Porcelain at the Saint-Cloud Manufactory, New Haven, 1999, p. 195, no. 120, for a yellow example in the Musée national Adrien Dubouché, Limoges, formerly in the Gasnault Collection.
