The form was derived from a Sèvres soup tureen stand in the service given by Louis XV to the Duchess of Bedford in 1763 at the end of her husband's embassy to Paris to conclude the Peace at the end of the Seven Year's War. On 29 May 1765 Wedgwood wrote from London to Thomas Bentley, telling him that he had been taking patterns from it for three days. (Wedgwood MS E25-18093)
