A Pair of English Decorated Sèvres Porcelain Bottle Coolers

18th century
Description

A fine pair of 18th century Sèvres soft paste porcelain Bottle Coolers (Seaux à bouteille). The Etruscan shaped coolers, each with two loop handles, finely decorated with a turquoise blue ground (Bleu Céleste), very finely painted with polychrome flowers and fruit, reserved within a loose floral trail in tooled and burnished gold. The later added decoration attributed to the English workshop of Thomas Martin Randall at Madeley c.1830. This little factory specialised in the decoration and re-decoration of imported French wares, as well as the manufacture of porcelains in the same style. A portion of these imported prev revolutionary French wares bore the Sèvres mark and were sold as such. It is also reputed that blank porcelain was imported from Sevres, decorated at Madeley and then shipped back to France only to be sold back to wealthy English aristocrats who were wanting to impress their friends with their Sèvres porcelain! Spurious Sevres marks to the base of each cooler.

Condition: Excellent, no chips, cracks or crazing. Gilding in excellent order. There is one manufacturing flaw (chip) under the decoration to the base of one cooler as shown.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originally designed in eighteenth-century France, seaux a bouteille are porcelain vessels created to hold ice for cooling wine or champagne bottles at the dining table.

These pieces were manufactured from soft-paste or hard-paste porcelain, featuring hand-painted botanical or fruit cartouches, ground enamels such as bleu celeste, and burnished gilding.

Authentic pieces display gilded detailing, hand enamelling, factory or decorator marks under the base, and specific ground colours characteristic of the production period.

A pair can be displayed symmetrically on a dining table, sideboard top, or mantelpiece, functioning either as decorative objects or as vessel planters.

Clean using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding chemical cleaners, abrasive cloths, or submersion, which can degrade gilding and overglaze enamel decoration.
