Summary
Set of a sucrier, cover and stand from the Sevres factory. Painted with cupids and bouquets of flowers and fruit in white gilt-framed reserves against a blue celeste ground, the bowl having entwined handles and the lid handle formed of leafage and fruit picked out in gilt. It is possible that the decoration of this piece is of a later date than the porcelain.
