Document source description
This form would be used to hold the icy water in which wine bottles could be kept cool. The deep blue color that covers much of the cooler's outside surface, known as "bleu lapis," was first introduced in 1751. This "ground" color has been used to frame shaped sections, or reserves, that feature lively birds and in landscapes painted on the white of the porcelain, scenes created by one of the Sèvres factory's most talented decorators, Louis-Denis Armand. Richly arrayed gilding frames not only the reserve panels and upper rim, but is also used in an overall pattern across the dark blue ground.
