The service of which this is a part was manufactured at potteries under the patronage of the Duc d'Angoulême. The pattern is also called "Chantilly sprig." The pot is cylindrical or canister-shaped with a facetted, curved spout, and a C-curved handle with a thumb grip near the top. The flat lid has a cone-shaped knob. The pot and lid are ornamented with small, blue cornflowers and green and yellow foliage, which also decorate the body overall. A wreath or ring of flowers and leaves circles the body below the shoulder, and a similar ring circles the lid. The handle and spout have gilt edges and detailing. All of the edges of the teapot are emphasized by serrated gilt borders. There is a maker's mark (script initials for the Duc d'Angoulême, within a crowned oval) stamped in overglaze red on the underside.

Other articles from this service are represented in the database from several collections. A single cup and saucer from the service was offered for sale at Christie's NY in January 2004, Sale 1279, Lot 501; provenance was through Sarah Bache Hodge Woolford, to Betty Woolford Smith. In the files at Independence National Historical Park are unclear photographs of two cups and saucers possibly seen by Curator Charles Dorman around 1970. They are similar to the teapot and other wares recorded here. The first cup and saucer are recorded as having been owned by Mrs. Walter L. Smith, of 29 South 19th Street, Ocean City, NJ, and having a stamp of the Angoulême factory on the bottom. The second cup (which is broken) and saucer are recorded as being owned by Mrs. Thomas S. Gay, Jr., 50 Grove Avenue, Flourtown, PA, cited as a Franklin descendant. No notation is made of marks on them. Recent (ca. 2000) efforts to locate the persons named were unsuccessful.

Pieces of the same service(s) are in the collections of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. The museum owns three cups and six saucers marked with the red Angoulême stamp, and seven saucers marked with a black (Paris?) CARN stamp. The ornament on the latter group differs slightly from that of the Angoulême pieces. Another piece, a saucer, is believed to be owned by another Franklin descendant.
