35mm color slide of a porcelain mark for the litron cup and saucer in Slides 58a–c. The mark is for Charles-Nicolas Dodin (1734–1803; active 1754–1802), a painter whose “meticulous technique” was “unrivalled” at the porcelain factory (Savill 1988, 3:1029–30). Both the number 58 and the year “1784” are handwritten on the slide.

See the Fritzsche Porcelain Exhibit for more details on the litron cup, Dodin, and blue ground colors such as the king's blue (bleu du roi).
