18th-century Chantilly Porcelain Blue Sprig Cup And Saucer

An 18th-century, c.1770, Chantilly porcelain cup and saucer in the blue sprig (à la brindille) pattern.

Maker’s marks: Underglaze blue horn marks to both cup and saucer. Incised “D” to the base of the saucer. Incised “Sou” and another incised mark (possibly a stylised “M”) to the base of the cup.

Measurements:
Cup: 6.4 cm (2.5 in) high
Saucer: 12 cm (4.7 in) diameter

Notes: This set is delicately potted in soft-paste porcelain with high translucency. We have been unable to find another example of the shape, including in museum collections.
