It was a hard-paste porcelain factory established in 1776 by André-Marie Leboeuf. In 1778 when the protection of Marie-Antoinette was given to the factory, it began being called the Queen's Pottery. The factory remained in business until 1797, when it was sold. This wonderful tea bowl features the cornflower hand-painted pattern that the ill-fated last Queen of France favored. It also has a puce accent line. The cup is unmarked, but early pieces often are. Pieces of this hard-paste porcelain are found in museums around the world. We found this gorgeous and historically important tea bowl at an estate sale in Manhasset, NY. It is a wonderful piece in amazing history, especially when you consider it is over 230 years old. Very good condition without damage or crazing, please see pictures for more details.
