A Vincennes or early Sèvres wine glass cooler (seau à verre échancré) c.1750-60, of six-lobed form with small scroll handles, painted in green camaieu with flower sprays, traces of blue interlaced Ls mark, a chip to the footrim, 10.5cm high. Provenance: purchased from George Archdale, 4th August 1984. This rounded lobed shape is recorded at Sèvres in the 1750s and is found in the service produced for Madame du Barry in 1771. The unusual green monochrome decoration, which copied Meissen porcelain of the 1740s, can be seen on other Vincennes pieces, including a sucrier in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
