An early Sèvres or Vincennes cheese dish (fromager), c.1754-59, the shallow cylindrical form pierced with elaborate scroll designs edged in gilt, around small holes edged in blue, with dry blue flower sprays, raised on three peg feet, interlaced blue LL mark, one handle lacking, 13.5cm across.

This model was first designed at Vincennes in 1752 and made in two sizes, of which this was the smaller. Cf. Victoria and Albert Museum, Accession No. C.366-1909 for a plateau de fromagier in the same pattern.
