35mm color slide of a liqueur decanter cooler from the Asturias Service (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). This is a side-view of the “Liqueur Decanter Cooler” (seau à topette, slide 49a). This was a gift from Louis XV to his granddaughter Marie Louise (Maria Luisa of Bourbon-Parma, 1751–1819), Princess of Asturias, later Queen of Spain. The marks include a hatchet mark, indicating the work of Pierre-Joseph Rosset (active 1753–90; Savill 1988, 3:1064), and a mark for Pierre aîné (the elder; active 1759–75; Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 154 no. 110, 165n110).
