Description
35mm color slide of two white eggcups (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). Red and yellow flowers are painted on the body, stem, and base of each eggcup. The rims are highlighted with gilding. Eriksen and De Bellaigue note that this type of eggcup with a foot (coquetier à pied) was easily broken, and so by 1756 the Vincennes Manufactory begin producing the more durable variety of eggcups without feet (1987, 305). The number 1 is handwritten on the slide.
