Sevres

The M P Sevres printed mark is for Paul Milet Sevres. This mark was probably used from around 1911 on the death of his father Optatus. Threatened with a lawsuit, Paul Milet changed its brand by reversing the initials. On the 4th October 1930, he filed the trademark "PM Sevres" in the same dotted circle.

Sevres was originally a Royal factory which later became an Imperial factory.

The blue mark 1844 dates to around the late 19th century.
