Open Salt Dish #4

This is a rare open salt dish ( Salieres Simples or Salières Carrées ) made by Sevres in 1764. This type of dish with its simple, refined decoration was featured as part of large dinner services of the period and is a favorite of serious collectors. These are quite uncommon and I was lucky enough to find five at once from a collector. It is made of soft paste porcelain and is handpainted with their famous enamel flower arrangements or bouquets as well as single flowers with some honey gilding and blue trim. The dish is in superb condition with just some minor wear to the top inside gold trim. A rare and superb example and quite nice and it comes with a small plastic salt spoon :) The piece is marked with the blue interlaced LL mark with the date letter L for 1764 as well as a decorator mark I could not find which is not that unusual for Sevres porcelain. The piece is 1.375 inches tall. 3.125 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
