PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF GLADYS (PATSY) PULITZER PRESTON (Lots 33-36)

33
A PAIR OF ‘POMPADOUR’ LARGE
OVAL DISHES
QIANLONG PERIOD, CIRCA 1745
Painted with peony, daisy, and
lotus sprays and seed pods fanking
cartouches enclosing either a fsh or an
eagle crest surmounted by
a stylized crown
14√ in. (37.8 cm.) wide (2)
$8,000-12,000
Traditional attribution for this
service, with its many elaborately
shaped pieces, has been Madame de
Pompadour (1721-64), based on the
fsh vignettes (relating to her maiden
name of Poisson) and the eagle
vignettes (representing her husband,
King Louis XV). But, though certainly 33
a French market pattern, it seems
unlikely Mme. de Pompadour would
have highlighted her humble origins
in this way.
