Lot Essay

This form of is first mentioned in the factory records (in four sizes) in 1752, with the title appearing in the sales records the following year, 1753. Louis-Denis Armand was one of the factory's foremost bird painters, who was recorded at Vincennes and Sèvres from 1745 to 1788. Armand was one of the higest paid artists working at the factory and his hand is evident on many important commissions decorated with birds, and on components for the finest dinner services. A ground example with closely related bird decoration is held at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, museum no. 89.DE.44.
