~ Circa 1753 Vincennes Sevres Miniature Porcelain Teapot By Mile Anne Fromaget ~
The white and gilt teapot dates to between 1753 and 1755; there is no date letter.
Fromaget was active between 1753 and 1755 at Vincennes and also between 1756 and 1765 at Sevres.
~ Vincennes ~
The Vincennes porcelain manufactory was established in 1740 in the disused royal Château de Vincennes, in Vincennes, east of Paris, which was from the start the main market for its wares.
In 1756 the Vincennes porcelain factory shifted to new premises at Sèvres, west of Paris, until 1759, when, with the enterprise threatening to go bankrupt, the King bought it outright, initiating the career of world-famous Sèvres porcelain, which was a direct outgrowth of Vincennes.
