Source Description
Sèvres Manufactory produced this Neoclassical ice plate as part of a porcelain service commissioned by Louis-Philippe, King of France from 1830-1848. Plates like this one would be used to serve ice cream, a dessert that only the wealthiest could afford to have produced. Louis-Philippe’s crowned gilt monogram appears at the center of the dish, framed by a branch of oak leaves and laurel leaves, bound together by a neatly tied bow. A heavy boarder of gold leaf frames the entire dish. This ice plate is from “le service des balls,” the porcelain ware used by aristocratic guests at Louis-Philippe’s grand parties held at the Château de Eu in Normandy.
