Description

In the lower part there is the trademark "S.40.", Attributable to the manufacture of Sèvres, in reference to the year of production (1840); “RG” monogram engraved on the back. In particular, the bust of the queen is attributed to the idea of one of the two Brachard brothers (Jean-Charles Nicolas or Jean.Nicolas-Alexandre), both active at the Sèvres factory between 1782 and 1827; an example of Marie Antoinette is kept at the National Museum of Ceramics Duca di Martina in Villa Floridiana, Naples.
