Specialist note

Factory documents refer to this broth basin and stand as écuelle nouvelle forme et plateau, in both soft and hard paste, which was an updated design of the original broth basin and stand produced at the factory from 1753. A further design was introduced in the 1770s with reeded handles and there may have been as many as six variations of round stands paired with new basins, each with a differing handle design, see Linda H. Roth and Clare Le Corbeiller, French Eighteenth-Century Porcelain at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the J.Pierpoint Morgan Collection, Wadsworth Atheneum, 2000, pp. 327-329, no. 164 for an écuelle of this form.
