35mm color slide of a plate (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). It has a turquoise ground color around the rim, white ground in the center, and scalloped edges. At the center of the white well is the gilded monogram LPR, for Prince Louis de Rohan, “in two tones of gold, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves” (Hillwood 2017, no. 24.66.1). Set against the turquoise-blue rim are three white oval reserves with paintings of birds in landscapes. Between the painted reserves are gilded scrolls and swags. On the bottom is the painter’s mark for Antoine-Joseph Chappuis, known as Chappuis aîné (the elder; 1743–87; active 1756– or 1761–87), who specialized in birds, landscapes, and flowers (Savill 1988, 3:1018–20; Tardy 1981, 532; Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 158). The number 43 is handwritten on the slide.
