Two covered mustard pots forming a pair in Sèvres soft-paste porcelain. Barrel-shaped with polychrome decoration of bouquets of flowers and low-relief bands highlighted in blue and gold imitating hoops, the lids have flower-shaped finials, and gilt scalloped edges.
One is marked with two interlaced Ls and the date letter U for the year 1773, and bears the marks: Sioux the Elder (1752-1792), Pouillot (flower painter) (1773-1778), and Théodore Buteux (gilder) (1773-1780).
The other, marked with two interlaced Ls and the date letter Y for 1774, is attributed to the painter Sioux the Elder (1752-1792) and Tardy (1757-1795) and the gilder Théodore Buteux (1773-1780).
Small chip under the rim of one lid (see photos).
