The Villers Cotterêts service
Made at the Chantilly factory around 1760-1770 at the request of Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, the service with the cipher was intended for the château of Villers-Cotterêts, a centuries-old stronghold of the Orléans family since the château was given to Philippe d'Orléans by his brother Louis XIV in 1661. This service could have been ordered for the marriage of Louis-Henry-Joseph de Bourbon-Condé and Louise-Thérèse-Marie-Bathilde d'Orléans in 1770.
The inventory after the death of Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, drawn up in 1785, reveals the presence of this service in the offices of the château: "sixty three vases and their saucers, a mustard pot, seven sugar bowls, two butter bowls, two punch bowls and their bowls, eleven large salad bowls, thirteen small ones, thirty two compotiers of different sizes, fifteen dozen number plates, four dozen flower plates and eleven cracked plates all in Chantilly porcelain, valued together eight hundred and seven pounds." (Arch nat., X1A, f° 279, art. 999, see Geneviève Le Duc, Porcelaine tendre de Chantilly au XVIIIe siècle, Paris, Hazan, 1996, pp. 270-271).
