Literature
A Sèvres Sugar Bowl (pot à sucre Calabre) with bleu nouveau ground and ‘jewelled’ borders, factory mark in gilding.
The use of ‘jewelling’ at Sèvres with these stamped gold foils set with translucent enamels was a way of introducing a luxurious surface to porcelain, but only used at the factory at the start of the 1780s.
