Portieaux-Vallerysthal did this kind of colour combination

or rather, I have seen that colour combination from them. However I don't know about the history of the company or how Portieaux combined with Vallerysthal.  I looked into it once and it got very complicated.

yes, it still has a French look to the combination though and the foot perhaps?
I'd start with that and Sevres maybe?
