Catalogue note
This design relates to a silver-gilt tureen executed by Henri Auguste for Prince Vladimir and his wife, Countess Natalie Chernyshev, whose father was ambassador to France. The tureen was formerly in the Puiforcat collection and bears the marks of 1789-90. An almost identical tureen is in the collection of the Musée de la Malmaison. It also bears the marks of 1789-90 and was part of a large service of 425 pieces, ordered by Napoleon and given to his wife Josephine on the occasion of his crowning as Emperor in 1804. It is interesting to note for a commission of such importance that Auguste was satisfied to use a tureen that he already had in his workshop and simply added the Imperial arms.
