Monumental Clear Cut-Glass Covered Compote
About the Item
Monumental clear cut-glass covered compote, circa 1820.
La Cristallerie de Vonêche (active 1802-30), Belgium.
Glass, blown and cut.
Measures: 17 3/8 in. high, 11 1/4 in. diameter.
Compotes, known in French as coupes à fruits were a mainstay in the line of tablewares produced by La Cristallerie de Vonêche. Offered in a variety of sizes and decorative patterns and with or without a foot, the cut decoration on the present compote features a pattern of repeated diamond points with flat surfaces that very frequently appeared on their stemware, tableware, and presentation pieces (see, for example, Norbert Bastin and Jacques Toussaint, Verrières et Cristalleries Namuroises Du XVIIIe Siecle a Nos Jours, exhib. cat. [Musee de Groesbeeck-de Croix, Namur, Belgium, 1985], pp. 68, fig. 114; 70, fig. 120; 115, fig. 262). This piece, however, stands apart from the lionshare of the compotes produced at Vonêche because of its unusually large scale.
La Cristallerie de Vonêche was actively producing glass from 1802 until 1830. Aimé Gabriel d’Artigues (1773-1848), the former Director of La Cristallerie Saint-Louis-lez-Biche, purchased La Verriere Sainte-Anne on June 1, 1802. He renovated and expanded the current premises to allow the production of pane glass, tableware, and presentation pieces, which had been largely abandoned by Sainte-Anne prior to their close earlier in 1802. In hopes of perfecting the science of producing the most beautiful glass products for 50 to 70% less money than what was currently being made, Vonêche actively experimented with lead, and other minerals. By 1810, Vonêche employed 600 to 700 workers. The fall of the French Empire just a few years later, however, took away a significant amount of their business from France, and they were forced to downsize.
Despite this turn of events, Vonêche remained a top producer of glass, continually attracting high level innovators in the development of the techniques of glass production to their staff. In 1830, the Belgian revolution presented serious economic challenges, and La Cristallerie de Vonêche was forced to close in December of that year. The lionshare of the staff moved to Namur, Liège, and Maastricht, and all of the materials and equipment at the factory were taken over by L. Zoude of Namur.

- Pair of Porcelain Urn Form Fruit Coolers with Covers and LinersBy Stône, Coquerel, and Legros d'AnisyLocated in New York, NYPair Footed Fruit Coolers, about 1810-20 Stône, Coquerel, and Legros D’Anisy, Paris (active 1808–49) Porcelain, partially transfer printed in sepia and green and gilded Each, 13 1/2 in. high x 10 in. wide x 7 1/2 in. deep Signed and inscribed (on underside of one top and one base, with printed mark): STÔNE / COQUEREL / ET / LE GROS / PARIS / PAR BREVET D’INVENTION: Manufre de Décors sur Porcelaine Faience; variously inscribed with decorators’ initial in green and brown (on underside of one top and one base): M; variously inscribed with incised mark (on underside of one liner and both bottoms): 3; inscribed (in blue script, on the inside of one liner): 615 The Parisian firm of Stône, Coquerel, and Legros d'Anisy is distinguished for the important role that it played in the introduction of transfer-printed decoration on fine china in France. Although the process had been known and used in Great Britain since the eighteenth century, it was, according to Régine de Plinval de Guillebon in her book, Porcelain of Paris 1770–1850 (New York: Walker and Company, 1972), not until 1802 that Potter, Blancheron, Constant, Neppel, Cadet de Vaux & Denuelle took out a patent in France for transfer-printing on earthenware, and it was only on February 26, 1808, that John Hurford Stône, his brother-in-law, Athanase Marie Martin Coquerel, and Francois Antoine Legros d'Anisy not only took out a patent for transfer-printing on china, but also established a Stône, Coquerel, and d'Anisy partnership for the manufacture of transfer-printed ceramics. Their address from 1808 until 1818 was at 9, rue de Cadran, Paris. Prior to this, Stône and Coquerel had been partners at a creamware factory in Creil, France, and Legros d’Anisy had worked at the Sèvres factory, where he had apparently developed the transfer-printing technique for which his own firm became well known. “The process,” notes de Guillebon, was “based upon removing from the engraving a ‘pull’ made on a specially coated filter-paper, which was pressed onto the object to be decorated; this object itself was covered with a film.
