Fritzsche Porcelain Collection

Fritzsche_Slide_33.jpg

This exhibit showcases the Dr. Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection, which consisted of eighteenth-century porcelain masterpieces created by the Vincennes and Sèvres Porcelain Manufactories,  assembled by the Fritzsches from the 1970s through the 1990s. Several of these pieces are now in the Seattle Art Museum collection, while others are in museums and collections around the world. The exhibit highlights the history and significance of these objects, covering topics such as color, décor, teacup shapes, biographies of the porcelain painters and gilders, and porcelain marks. It also discusses the Fritzsches' approach to collecting, based on an interview conducted with Dr. Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche in 2019.
