François Boucher (1703-1770), was a French painter, draftsman and etcher, who worked in the Rococo style. Boucher is known for his idyllic and voluptuous paintings on classical themes, decorative allegories, and pastoral scenes. He was perhaps the most celebrated painter and decorative artist of the 18th century.
I tried to clean the accumulated patina with dishwashing degreaser, but it was not completely successful, obviously the stains accumulated with age cannot be cleaned. I am selling it as it is.
I can't be 100% sure about the year of production but judging by the patina and the wear in my opinion is 19th century, the box is not marked, in my opinion Old Paris Porcelain
