A Sèvres plate (assiette unie) date code for 1785, painted by Mme Lebel with design no. 129 Jardin pattern, with a central spray of roses, the rim with cornflowers and other flowers issuing from a jagged blue border, interlaced Ls mark enclosing date letters HH, and another plate similarly decorated with vases of flowers and further flowering plants issuing from a turquoise border, a central flower spray to the well, interlaced Ls mark and script Sèvres mark, painter's mark for Michel-Gabriel Commelin, the latter probably with some later decoration, 24.3cm. (2) The plate in the Jardin pattern is from a service purchased by Mme Victoire, daughter of Louis XV, of which Mme Le Bel is recorded as having decorated six plates. A plate from the same service, deborated by Mlle Buteux, is in the collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The second plate relates to a service produced in 1787-89 and held in stock until 1794. A supplement was ordered in 1796 but production halted before gilding had commenced. It seems likely that the gilding was added elsewhere during the 19th century and the interlaced Ls mark added at that time.
