Between then and 1789 over 1000 were produced. Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue cites over 80 in 1784, over 400 in 1785,nearly 500 in 1786, about 160 in 1787 and fewer than 20 in 1788. (See Documentation, Bellaigue, 1980).The gobelet litron was named after a cubic measure, the litron, which was normally made of wood, and was used for dry stuffs, such as corn and peas. Its size in Paris had been defined in 1670 as the equivalent of 9.45 cm high and 10.15 cm in diameter in pouces and lignes, which was larger than the largest of the porcelain cups. The first size of gobelet litron had been introduced at Vincennes before October 1752 when it was mentioned in an inventory of stock, but was probably being made earlier.The second and third sizes followed in 1753, and the fourth and fifth in 1757. They could be fitted with one of seven different handle forms . A drawing in the archives at Sèvres is dated 19 February 1753 (MNS, R1, liasse 2, dossier 2, No. 6bis) They were supplied singly, singly with a plateau carré, in ’harlequin’ sets, or as part of matching dejeuner. (See Documentation, Savill, 1988, Bellaigue 2009) This is a gobelet litron of the second size with Savill's handle B.The incised mark on the cup, 41, is recorded on cups and saucers in the 1780s and 1790s, and on two vases of 1779 and 1780 respectively. It also occurs on C.56-1961, a cup of 1784, also on a saucer of 1780 in the Royal CollectionThe painter's mark does not occur in MS Vj’2 but has been deduced from payments in the Artistis Lists of payments as that of Mme Antoinette-Marie Noualher (née Huet) , working from c. 1762-98. An almost similar mark was used by her daughter from c. 1790-98, and possibly earlier in the late 1780s, who about 1796 became Mme Weydinger.referenceterm-106779adlib-term-106779f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a18th Century, Latereferenceterm-14265adlib-term-14265b9f6d73e-26ce-3588-a519-976c2cc93f7fLouis XVIreferenceterm-113750adlib-term-1137509c94e435-9cde-38f2-b190-3a9ff2a77005literalFranceFrancecountrySèvresreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-59083adlib-media-59083702c3292-2d30-384a-88f9-e232ded9773fjpegaa/aa23/C_194_1918_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162600971151imagejpegaa/aa23/mid_C_194_1918_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels334widthpixels50016162600971151imagejpegaa/aa23/C_194_1918_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels507widthpixels76016162600971151imagejpegaa/aa23/preview_C_194_1918_20_281_29.jpg1heightpixels167widthpixels25016162600971151image0media
