EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Sevres footed ice-cup stand from the Service de la Reine, created exclusively for Marie Antoinette in 1784. The ceramic masterpiece measures 22.2 cm in diameter and is currently held in a private collection. Adorned with an intricate blue interlaced Ls enclosing the date letter GG, this exquisite piece bears the mark of Boileau as its painter and Girard as its gilder. The decoration on this stand is nothing short of breathtaking. A symphony of roses, violets, and other vibrant flowers grace its surface, creating a botanical wonderland that speaks to both natural history and artistic brilliance. The combination of yellow, purple, pink hues adds an explosion of color to this French royal treasure. Crafted with utmost precision and attention to detail, this footed ice-cup stand exemplifies the opulence associated with Sevres ware. Its delicate porcelain structure exudes elegance while maintaining functionality as it serves as a platform for icy refreshments fit for royalty. As we gaze upon this painted marvel, we are transported back to the grandeur of Marie Antoinette's reign—a time when elaborate service de la reine pieces like these were commissioned exclusively for queens. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such remarkable works of art.
