About the Item

WHY WE LOVE IT This is so beautiful we've switched from red wine to white! Vincennes has been called "The most important French porcelain manufacturer"* and "a glorious enterprise" **. We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning Vincennes soft-paste porcelain bottle cooler (seau à liqueur) made 1752-1753. Decorated with delicate polychrome flowers and fruit, it is marked with the exclusive royal cipher (interlaced L's), the five dot mark for painter "Fontaine", and with incised "N" and "C". In 1751 Vincennes became the factory of Louis XV and soon after became known as Sevres. By early 1742 the factory was producing a lovely white soft-paste porcelain decorated with natural painted flowers and fruit in a full variety of colors. Porcelains decorated in this style were the most important part of the Vincennes production especially during the early years. Fine quality and elegant design made Vincennes porcelains highly sought after and expensive. Combinations of fruits and flowers including, roses, daisies, orange blossoms, violets, hyacinths from Holland, daffodils from Constantinople, lily of the valley, cherries, apples and plums were all used to decorate Vincennes porcelains. The painting on our bottle cooler is exceptional. Note how the the polychrome colors of the flowers sink into the white, soft-paste porcelain (see image #3). If one compares the painting on this wine cooler to the painting on French hard-paste porcelains from later in the 18th century one sees that the colors on the hard-paste porcelains do not sink in but rest on top of the porcelain. * See "les porcelainiers du XVIIIe siècle français" with a preface by Serge Gauthier, pg 153 ** See "French 18th century Porcelain at the Wadsworth Atheneum" pg 87, by Linda Roth and Clare Le Corbeiller Background of Vincennes Porcelain: In 1745 Vincennes was granted a royal privilege from the King of France, Louis XV. In 1751 the King assumed control of the factory. Soon after the products of the factory would be known as Manufacture du Roi (products of the Royal factory), and Vincennes began to mark its porcelains with the exclusive royal cipher, (interlaced L's). In 1756 the factory moved to a new building in Sèvres. Since then the factory and its products have been known as Sèvres Porcelain.
