A Rare Famille Rose ´Pompadour-pattern´ Plate, with four foliate cartouches alternately enclosing an eagle and a fish, amongst bold floral sprays depicting varieties of poppies and smaller daisies and berries, the center with a spray of peony, Qianlong period, c. 1745, diameter c. 23 cm, crack, wear NOTE: Two enamelled services and a blue and white service with this pattern are known. These have traditionally been thought to have been made for Madame de Pompadour (1721-64) based on the fish vignettes, which appear to related to her maiden name of Poisson (fish), and the eagle vignettes representing her husband, King Louis XV. However, there is no evidence that this is so, and indeed it is thought unlikely that Madame de Pompadour would have drawn attention to her bourgeois family name in this way. The palettes used in both the enamelled services were particularly popular in France during this time, suggesting that it was a French order. They were probably private orders of considerable importance for persons of considerable wealth.
