拍品专文

The present déjeuner originally included six more cups and saucers. It is likely one of two described as fond poupre et zone Nankin (purple ground with a Chinese yellow band) entered in the sales inventory 4 December 1830. One was sold to an unknown client. The other acquired by M. Petit 31 May 1837.
