<p>[QUOTE="John T, post: 3816244, member: 19334"]This is a few years late, but as I'm thinking the plate's marks are easily understandable, I'll comment. The two marks within the crossed Ls are a pair of lower case Ls for the year 1789. The blue/gold combo on the front was very popular from circa 1789 through the revolution. The "119" are actually the lower case letters nq, signature mark for the fairly prolific painter Nicquet. Some of the underglaze burned off in the firing leaving the date Ls and the n only partially legible. My opinion: This is perfectly legitimate piece of late 18th century Sevres.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
