Another rose marbré cup and saucer with scenes after Teniers and marked for Viellard, likely originally from the same service as the present lot, was offered in the Flauhaut Collection, Christie's, London, 12 June 1995, lot 520.
The application of the rose marbré ground was tedious, involving the application of a blue ground over a fired pink ground and the scraping away of the blue to reveal the pink below in a desired marbled pattern. Given the difficulty and expense of its execution, the factory produced rose marbré for only a few years, with almost all marked pieces executed between 1761 and 1763.
André-Vincent Viellard père is recorded as a painter of figures, landscapes, trophies, patterns and flowers at the manufactory from 1752-90.
