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>. The <a href="http://s10035.eos-intl.net/S10035/OPAC/Search/SpecialTitles.aspx?List_Code=25134070&clicked=true&PatronSearches=false">Fritzsche Library on Decorative Arts</a> is a related resource comprised of books and research materials donated by Dr. Fritzsche to SAM <a href="http://seattleartmuseum.org/programs-and-learning/libraries-and-resources#bul">Bullitt Library</a>.

An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a glass cooler (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). It has two small handles. Two intertwined orange flowers, with insects interspersed around their leaves, are painted atop the white ground color. The <em>seau à verre</em> (glass cooler) was a smaller version of the traditional wine bottle cooler produced at Vincennes. It was meant “for holding an individual wine glass, bowl down” (Huntington 2019, no. 27.52). The number 5 is handwritten on the slide.

<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 Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).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).

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).

Description
An account of the resource
35mm color slide of a wine cooler, half-bottle size (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). The rim and base are gilded. The body is painted with a colorful landscape that includes trees, buildings, a bridge over a river, and a person fishing. Sassoon notes that the “half wine bottle cooler” (<em>seau à demi-bouteille</em>) is a smaller variant of the “wine bottle coolers” (<em>seau à demi-bouteille</em>) produced at Vincennes and Sèvres, and that the half size was usually 16–17 cm. in height (1991, 152–54). The Huntington website explains that the <em>seau à demi-bouteille</em> “was made to hold smaller bottles of wine that could have been placed on the table within reach of diners so that they could serve themselves” (2019, no. 27.52). On the slide is handwritten the number 11 and “Vincennes ca. 1750.”

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “Originally, my <em>Seau</em> [half wine bottle cooler--<em>eds.</em>] had been one of a pair of mismatched <em>Seaux</em> — judging by their quite different type of decoration — when I bought them around 1974/5 at Sotheby’s, New York. Their different decor might have been one of the reasons, plus my inexperience at the time as a brand new collector, and not knowing what I really had, that not too long afterwards I hand-carried the piece to London and re-sold it at Christie’s. I do recall Hugo Morley Fletcher commenting about its rarity when I brought it in! When I mentioned that I once owned it Didier C. was more than astonished that I ever re-sold it in the first place” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and 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 wine cooler, half-bottle size (Vincennes Porcelain Manufactory). The rim and base are gilded. The body is painted with a colorful landscape that includes trees, buildings, a lake or river, and a person fishing. Sassoon notes that the “half wine bottle cooler” is a smaller variant of the “wine bottle coolers” produced at Vincennes and Sèvres, and that the half size was usually 16–17 cm in height (1991, 152–54). The Huntington website explains that the <em>seau à demi-bouteille</em> “was made to hold smaller bottles of wine that could have been placed on the table within reach of diners so that they could serve themselves” (2019, no. 27.52). On the slide is handwritten the number 11 and “Vincennes 1750; similar piece see Berges p. 119.”

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “Originally, my <em>Seau</em> [half wine bottle cooler--<em>eds.</em>] had been one of a pair of mismatched <em>Seaux</em> — judging by their quite different type of decoration — when I bought them around 1974/5 at Sotheby’s, New York. Their different decor might have been one of the reasons, plus my inexperience at the time as a brand new collector, and not knowing what I really had, that not too long afterwards I hand-carried the piece to London and re-sold it at Christie’s. I do recall Hugo Morley Fletcher commenting about its rarity when I brought it in! When I mentioned that I once owned it Didier C. was more than astonished that I ever re-sold it in the first place” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and 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 liqueur decanter cooler from the Asturias Service (Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory). This is a side-view of the “Liqueur Decanter Cooler” (<em>seau à topette</em>, 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 <em>aîné</em> (the elder; active 1759–75; Eriksen and De Bellaigue 1987, 154 no. 110, 165n110).

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>.

From Dr. Fritzsche’s Collector’s Notes: “[The plate] originally, … belonged to a set of 12, [which] Mme. Lair, widow of Michel Joseph Lair, living in the Rue du Roule, Paris, had bought at the factory between October–December 1759. Until his death, Lazare Duvaux had been the marchan[d]-mercier of choice for Mme. de Pompadour. Towards the end of 1759, several pieces ‘à fond rose et décor peint’ and labeled ‘chasse,’ part of a small service, were sold by Mme. Lair, whose buyer in hindsight was no one other than Louis XV, King of France…. We acquired our plate from Winifred Williams, London, who bought it November 30, 1981, at Christie’s, London” (Dr. Ulrich Fritzsche, “Ulrich and Stella Fritzsche Collection of Vincennes–Sèvres Porcelain,” unpublished manuscript, Seattle Art Museum Library Archives, 2018).
