The Fritzsche Porcelain Collection showcases <a href="https://samlibraries.omeka.net/collections/show/12">95 digitized slides</a>, taken by photographer Ted D’Arms, which serve as a visual documentation of the Dr. Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of French porcelain. 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>.

An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a white biscuit medallion (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). The medallion depicts Benjamin Franklin in profile, sculpted in relief, and is based on a bust created ca. 1777 by the French sculptor Jean-Jacques Caffierri (1725–92), known for his portrait busts (Fritzsche 2018). In France, “Franklin became so popularly regarded as an apostle of liberty that his likeness appeared in all kinds of media.... [He] wrote to his daughter in June 1779 that all these likenesses ‘have made your father’s face as well known as the moon’ ” (Arend 1998, 56). The inner and outer rims of the medallion are highlighted by burnished gilding. The number 54 is handwritten on the slide.

<p>From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “Sold no. 2, illustrated, May 16, 1939, collection of Monsieur M. D., Galérie Charpentier, Paris. Again sold February 21, 1988, no. 54, illustrated, Saint-Germain-en-Laye…. All three pieces have an interesting model of a lid with a pierced hole. The porcelain lid pulls out and has a silver-shaped handle that can be positioned upright, or can fold to the side. The single visible hole has a silver hinged cup. The underside of the cover has several metal parts, including three prongs that hold the cover on while chocolate is being poured, and three fasteners, attached to a metal disc similar to a washer, with which the silver handle and caps are anchored.” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).

The Fritzsche Porcelain Collection showcases <a href="https://samlibraries.omeka.net/collections/show/12">95 digitized slides</a>, taken by photographer Ted D’Arms, which serve as a visual documentation of the Dr. Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of French porcelain. 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 an ice cream cup (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). Against a greenish-blue ground color, circular white reserves contain paintings of a bird and a butterfly, but neither painting is fully visible on the slide. Surrounding the reserves are thick bands of tooled gilding depicting scrolls and foliage. The cup is apparently from a Buffon service (Fritzsche 2018). Such pieces were inspired by the works of Georges-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon, in particular his celebrated work on birds, <em>The Natural History of Birds </em>(<em>Histoire naturelle des oiseaux</em>, 1770–86). The number 52 is handwritten on the slide.

An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a litron cup and saucer (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). Both cup and saucer have a white ground, painted with multicolored designs. The saucer depicts a butterfly, bird, and flowers, while the cup is adorned with a “chinoiserie” scene: a bridge topped with a turret, and a solitary figure holding a parasol. This is the reverse side of Slide 51a. The <em>gobelet litron</em> (litron cup) has a distinctive, straight-sided, cylindrical shape, and was the most common form of teacup produced at the Sèvres factory. The number 51 is handwritten on the slide.

The Fritzsche Porcelain Collection showcases <a href="https://samlibraries.omeka.net/collections/show/12">95 digitized slides</a>, taken by photographer Ted D’Arms, which serve as a visual documentation of the Dr. Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of French porcelain. 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 hard-paste, two-handled soup bowl with cover and stand (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). This is an enlarged detail of the “Bowl with Cover and Stand” (écuelle, slide 50a). “These scenes with exotic gentlemen in Turkish dress recall the bustling harbor scenes fashionable on porcelain earlier in the eighteenth century. Philippe Castel placed his exotic figures in harbor scenes dominated by classical ruins, inspired by the interest in ancient Greece and Rome that captivated Europe during the last quarter of the eighteenth century” (<a href="http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/33219/bowl-with-cover-and-stand-ecuelle?ctx=01123605-d225-4b66-a1fc-a89e9524a940&idx=1">SAM, no. 2005.178</a>). The bowl and its stand have marks for Philippe Castel (active 1772–97), a painter of birds, ornaments, and landscapes, and for Henri-Martin Prévost (active 1757–97), a gilder (Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 153 no. 22, no. 63, 158n22, 161n63; Savill 1988, 3:1013). The number 50 is handwritten on the slide.

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “Originally this <em>écuelle</em> [bowl with cover and stand—<em>eds</em>.] was offered at Sotheby-Parke-Bernet, New York, coming from a South American Collection; it didn’t sell. New York dealer Armin Allen acquired it for me after the sale.

Description
An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a hard-paste, two-handled soup bowl with cover and stand (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). This is an enlarged detail of the “Bowl with Cover and Stand” (<em>écuelle</em>, slide 50a). “These scenes with exotic gentlemen in Turkish dress recall the bustling harbor scenes fashionable on porcelain earlier in the eighteenth century. Philippe Castel placed his exotic figures in harbor scenes dominated by classical ruins, inspired by the interest in ancient Greece and Rome that captivated Europe during the last quarter of the eighteenth century” (<a href="http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/33219/bowl-with-cover-and-stand-ecuelle?ctx=01123605-d225-4b66-a1fc-a89e9524a940&idx=1">SAM, no. 2005.178</a>). The bowl and its stand have marks for Philippe Castel (active 1772–97), a painter of birds, ornaments, and landscapes, and for Henri-Martin Prévost (active 1757–97), a gilder (Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 153 no. 22, no. 63, 158n22, 161n63; Savill 1988, 3:1013). The number 50 is handwritten on the slide.

An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a hard-paste, two-handled soup bowl with cover and stand (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). Both the bowl and cover have paintings in white reserves and extensive decorative gilding, including foliage and fan shapes. “These scenes with exotic gentlemen in Turkish dress recall the bustling harbor scenes fashionable on porcelain earlier in the eighteenth century. Philippe Castel placed his exotic figures in harbor scenes dominated by classical ruins, inspired by the interest in ancient Greece and Rome that captivated Europe during the last quarter of the eighteenth century” (<a href="http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/33219/bowl-with-cover-and-stand-ecuelle?ctx=01123605-d225-4b66-a1fc-a89e9524a940&idx=1">SAM, no. 2005.178</a>). The set has marks for Philippe Castel (active 1772–97), a painter of birds, ornaments, and landscapes, and for Henri-Martin Prévost (active 1757–97), a gilder (Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 153 no. 22, no. 63, 158n22, 161n63; Savill 1988, 3:1013).
