Grimwade, "London Goldsmiths 1697-1837 Their Marks and Lives", 1990, p. 689: "The majority of his [Aymé Videau's] output seems to have been hollow ware, coffee-pots tea-caddies etc., of high quality and, from the mid-thirties, with particularly graceful flat chasing". Here we also see him as a master of embossed decoration. He was the son of John Vedeau sic.
