The blason of the Viscount of Origny and of Maillé

I was at this website Gien Faïence Works when I saw one of their orders from 1871 that read, "the blason of the Viscount of Origny and of Maille". I wrote and asked if they would send me the drawing. Aude de la Rivière send me the above drawing 5-18-99. This is part of my family history, I asked for the drawing to see the external elements of the blason. Do not take the drawing without permission from Gien Faïence Works. Thank you.
