Attributed to Locré et Russinger, 1770s.

In 1772, the Parisian Jean-Baptiste Locré (1726 - 1810) founded a porcelain manufactory in Paris together with Laurentius Russinger (1739 - 1810), who was born in Höchst. The manufactory made hard paste porcelain based on that produced in Germany at the time. Their factory trade mark with two crossed arrows was registered on 14th July 1773. Locré sold the manufactory to Russinger in 1787.
