The motif of the garland of twigs called Monsieur de Calonne was created in Arras and is inspired, according to tradition, by the embroidery stick that Mr. de Calonne

wore on his jabot: was the motif invented for a service that was offered to him? This decoration is subject to a special price, slightly higher than that called

"au petit dessin". The pieces decorated with it are relatively rare. (Extract from the catalogue of Arras porcelain - Musée d'Arras published in February 1992.
