Chateau des Tuileries
Sevres LP 1844S37
When the Tuileries was burned down, the \"aristocracy\" and others with access to what was then a palace and royal business office, removed most of the porcelain to safeguard it from destruction. Some were kept hidden for years while others were sold off. After the late 1800\'s and early 1900\'s when being imported to the US the Tuileries porcelain pieces were identified by there having a Made in France, or France, denotation imprinted on the back as required by US law.
The remaining porcelain, some of which were not decorated, were completed at various times and to different degrees depending upon whether or not it was a completed piece when it was stored away in France originally. The Tuileries porcelain can be fully, partially or completely decorated at different times without there being markings to denote this.This Sevres cup is back-stamped with the following:Red crowned circle Chateau des TuileriesBlue circle with crowned LP insignia Sevres 1844Black oval surrounding S. 37.
