Two Sceaux faience plates (F. Duvivier)

Two Sceaux faience plates (F. Duvivier)

The above plates (numbers 36, 38 in my book) were published in 1903 in a book by M. L. Solon, A history and description of the old French faïence, with an account of the revival of faïence painting in France (London: Cassell & Co., Ltd.), facing p. 124. At the time the two plates were attributed to the factory of J. Gaspard Robert of Marseille, but in the meantime both have been re-attributed to Sceaux.
