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 two white eggcups (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). Red and yellow flowers are painted on the body, stem, and base of each eggcup. The rims are highlighted with gilding. Eriksen and De Bellaigue note that this type of eggcup with a foot (<em>coquetier à pied</em>) was easily broken, and so by 1756 the Vincennes Manufactory begin producing the more durable variety of eggcups without feet (1987, 305). The number 1 is handwritten on the slide.

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “These two eggcups, … once in the well-known collection of Vincennes porcelain of W. J. Sainsbury [<em>Connoisseur</em>, February 1954], were bought through Kate Foster, European Porcelains, London, as intermediary, from his widow. In June 1984, we had the fortune to meet Mrs. Sainsbury personally during the Annual Ceramic Fair in London. … We gave our two eggcups to the Seattle Art Museum” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich & Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).

35mm color slide of a white eggcup (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). Yellow and blue flowers are painted on the body, stem, and base. The rims are highlighted with gilding. Eriksen and De Bellaigue note that this type of eggcup with a foot (<em>coquetier à pied</em>) was easily broken, and so by 1756 the Vincennes Manufactory begin producing the more durable variety of eggcups without feet (1987, 305).

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “These two eggcups, … once in the well-known collection of Vincennes porcelain of W. J. Sainsbury [<em>Connoisseur</em>, February 1954], were bought through Kate Foster, European Porcelains, London, as intermediary, from his widow. In June 1984, we had the fortune to meet Mrs. Sainsbury personally during the Annual Ceramic Fair in London. … We gave our two eggcups to the Seattle Art Museum” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich & Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).

Description
An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a white sugar spoon (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). Its ladle is pierced with a pattern of circles and tear-drop shapes. Its handle consists of two curved sections entwined together. The edges are gilded. Eriksen and De Bellaigue note that such spoons were rare: “The factory produced only very few spoons,” presumably because the thin handles were deemed fragile and “it could not be anticipated that a thin handle would have a very long life”; Eriksen also suggests that, in all likelihood, such spoons “were designed by Duplessis” (Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 275; Eriksen 1980, 66). The number 2 is handwritten on the slide.

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>.

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “An example [of this teapot form] appeared in the 1967 <em>Gilbert Lévy Collection</em>, no. 118, there described as ‘théière à trois pieds rocailles, décor adornments floraux et oiseaux.’ It probably was the same teapot, which was later in Mme. Polles’ extensive private collection of teapots; a well- known Parisian dealer in continental porcelains, she was very reluctant to part with it. Of interest, 1976, when I bought the teapot at the Grand Palais, Bernard Dragesco was still learning the trade at her shop….We gave our teapot to the Seattle Art Museum” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).

<p>From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “The first piece I bought from Kate Foster. She had one handle mended and several chips at the rim filled in. The companion piece, no. 289, also unmarked, was in the 1909 <em>Fitzhenry Collection</em>. A tobacco jar, soft-paste, with the same translucency and decoration as our seau à verre, is in the collection of the Seattle Art Museum [<em>see SAM, <a href="http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/23131/tobacco-jar">no. 87.142.30</a>—eds.</em>], originally thought to be made at the Capo Di Monte factory, but a closer examination showed that both pieces had their decoration most likely done by the same painter during the early years of the Vincennes porcelain manufacture” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “The first piece I bought from Kate Foster. She had one handle mended and several chips at the rim filled in. The companion piece, no. 289, also unmarked, was in the 1909 <em>Fitzhenry Collection</em>. A tobacco jar, soft-paste, with the same translucency and decoration as our seau à verre, is in the collection of the Seattle Art Museum [<em>see SAM, <a href="http://art.seattleartmuseum.org/objects/23131/tobacco-jar">no. 87.142.30</a>—eds.</em>], originally thought to be made at the Capo Di Monte factory, but a closer examination showed that both pieces had their decoration most likely done by the same painter during the early years of the Vincennes porcelain manufacture” (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>.

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>.
