This soup plate is part of a large and very expensive service that was ordered from Sèvres by the French dealer Lefèvre, who delivered it to a Dutch client. Lefèvre bought large quantities of porcelain from the Sèvres factory between 1780 and 1788. He generally sold the porcelain through the shop run by his father and brother in Amsterdam.
