CIRCA 1820, DECORATED BY JEAN-PIERRE FEUILLET, GREEN SCRIPT MARKS, BOTH INCISED 12

The son of the pastry chef for the prince de Condé, Jean-Pierre Feuillet (1777-1840) learned to paint at the school founded by the prince at his chateau outside Paris in Chantilly. On 20th July 1814 Feuillet set up shop in Paris on the rue de la Paix, under the protection of the prince. Feuillet gained a reputation as one of the best porcelain decorators in the city, and this at the height of production in Paris. He used blanks from a variety of manufacturers including Nast and the Darte Frères and was well known for his Alpine scenes.
