Provenance
A cabaret " fond hortensia décor lierre et attributs" was presented by the Empress Marie-Louise to the Countess of Ségur for the Étrennes of 1813. The document of entry to the factory sales store lists 12 cups, a teapot, two sugar bowls, a milk jug, but strangely no bowl as is usually the case. However, the archives of the Manufacture's credit sales mention in addition to the 12 cups five pieces and not four, the fifth piece most likely being our fruit bowl, which explains the likely error in the entry list.
