This collection, which the Fritzsches assembled from the 1970s through the 1990s, consisted of eighteenth-century porcelain masterpieces created by the Vincennes and Sèvres Porcelain Manufactories. Several of these pieces are now in the Seattle Art Museum collection, while others are in museums and collections around the world. In addition to the digitized slides, the collection includes Dr. Fritzsche’s <a href="https://samlibraries.omeka.net/items/show/2991">Collector’s Notes</a>.

Description
An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a wine bottle cooler (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). Set against a bright pink ground color is a painted landscape in a white shaped reserve, framed by gilded garlands of scrolls, foliage, and flowers. The landscape is dominated by a majestic tree prominently placed at the center of the picture. Behind and around the tree is a hunting scene with men on horseback, and hunting dogs in pursuit of a stag. These hunting scenes are believed to represent Louis XV on a stag hunt, and may have been inspired by <em>Chasses royales de Louis XV</em> (1733–46), a series of Gobelins tapestries designed by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686–1755), and regarded as one of Oudry’s masterpieces ((Huntington n.d., no. 27.52; Fritzsche 2018, 14). The wine cooler has a mark on the bottom, consisting of the letter F followed by a dot, which has not been identified. There is a visible crack in the center of the object.
<br />Find more information on these hunting scenes, Oudry, and Louis XV, in the <a href="https://samlibraries.omeka.net/exhibits/show/fritzsche-porcelain-collection/home">Fritzsche Porcelain Exhibit</a>.

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “Winifred Williams … had acquired our <em>Seau</em> [on] February 2, 1981, Christie’s, London. Subsequently we acquired it from him. At the Baron Schroeder sale, Christie’s July 5, 1910, no. 42, our <em>Seau</em> was already described as ‘faulty,’ and sold for only 600 pounds compared to the 1500 pounds paid for no. 41, ‘<em>Seau à Verre</em>.’ It appears, that at some time in the past our <em>Seau</em> had been broken in two, and was put back together with several small clamps; Williams had them removed.” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).
