An identical plaque is in the collection of the National Ceramics Museum in Sèvres. It was part of an order by the State and is registered in the State’s records. It was removed by the national museums on October 16th, 1891 (archives of the Musée d’Orsay).
Our plaque comes from Roger Marx’s inheritance. After his passing, it was bought back by his family at the estate sale on May 13th, 1914. It still bears on the back of it, the label corresponding to lot 114.
