Notes:
Two "pots à l'eau ordinaires" (2nd size), associated with basins, decorated in the same spirit and with similar mounts, are preserved in the English royal collections and published by Sir Geoffrey de Bellaigue, French Porcelain in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen, London, 2009, Vol.II, pp.540-546. This work of mounts, both from the point of view of the design and their realization, is attributed by Geoffrey de Bellaigue to Philippe-Claude Maëlrondt (1766-1824). Many pieces were reassembled or embellished by this great Parisian merchant of the period following the French Revolution, who could also be described as a merchant-merchant; he even designed furniture for the Bellangé. His numerous contacts with the English market and in particular with the merchants John Boykett Jarman and Robert Fogg, will allow him to sell through the latter many pieces to King George IV. For an important article on this dealer, see by Geoffrey de Bellaigue, 'Philippe-Claude Maëlrondt, supplier to George IV', The Burlington Magazine, June 2004, pp.386-395.
