Another example of the present model, decorated with fleurs encrusté on a bleu 'Fallot' ground, the property of a New England Collector, was sold 26 October 1995, lot 81 and is now in a private European collection. One with a bleu céleste ground painted with harbor scenes by Morin is in the collection of the Petit Palais, Paris. A pair, painted with pastoral scenes on a green ground, previously owned by Mme Victoire is now in the Kress Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. All are dated circa 1771.
