They are: Aloncle=birds, Mutel=trophy/flowers, Drand=flowers & Pierre le jeune= gilder . This piece took a lot of time and cost a lot of money to make. Provenance A service of this description was sold on 23rd June 1774 to James Ogilvy, the 7th (and last) Earl of Findlater and 4th Earl of Seafield, who principally lived on the Continent after 1769. The service was sold with biscuit groups, and in 1777 it appears that a supplement of 4 jattes anglaises and 4 compotiers ovales was probably acquired, possibly via the marchand-mercier Bazin. But it is still not certain if the present lot once formed part of this service. See David Peters, Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century (2005), Part 5, Service List 74-3 I 100% guarantee this to Sèvres porcelain as described . Please write me with any questions.
