The present tray must be one of the earliest examples made of this model, as the first factory records for it are for the biscuit kiln in April/May 1756. See La Porcelaine de Vincennes, Paris, 1991, no. 194.

Etienne Evans, recorded at Vincennes and Svres as a painter of birds, animals and flowers, 1752-1786
