Begun in 1782, the service known as the Gobelet du Roi was delivered to Versailles on 11 May 1783, with supplements added between 1784 and 1791. The decoration is named in the registers of painters' work and enfournements kept in the archives of the Sèvres manufactory: guirlandes de barbeaux accompanied by the designation: Service du Roy. It was addressed on successive deliveries to Jean-René-Christophe Roth, controller of the Gobelet du Roi. The service was intended for the table of the officers who were entitled to the second dining room known as the "salles neuves".
The service undoubtedly followed the Court when it moved to the Tuileries in 1790.
Among the extras delivered to the King on 3 May 1788 was a sugar bowl priced at 48 livres.
