Wine glass cooler (seau à verre)

Manufactory Vincennes Manufactory French

ca. 1750

Not on view

In 1745 the Vincennes factory was granted a royal privilege that allowed the factory to decorate porcelain with painted figures and gilding. As this privilege also prohibited the other French soft-paste porcelain factories from using similar decoration, Vincennes was given a significant advantage that insured its success.
