拍品专文

These half-bottle coolers are possibly connected with the green-ground service acquired on 1 May 1763 by Henri-Léonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin (1720-1792), with further supplements recorded in 1764 and 1765, a substantial part of which is being offered in the evening sale of the present Rothschild auction series. Although there are no half-bottle coolers recorded among the 1763 grouping, the similarity of the decoration and especially the gilding with the two bottle coolers in the previous lot suggests that they were likely part of the same service. In addition, the gilding patterns on the present coolers all match, despite the coolers' differing dates, furthering the hypothesis that the present cooler dated 1771, as well as all the green-ground service wares dated 1771 in this sale series, were perhaps those purchased by the merchant Simon-Philippe Poirier to supplement for Bertin's 1763 service.

Within a few years of starting his career as a lawyer in Bordeaux, Henri Léonard Jean-Baptiste Bertin (1720-1792) began his climb through the ranks of French bureaucracy. He eventually served as the Controleur général des Finances beginning in 1759, and in 1763, the year in which he acquired the present service, he ascended to the role of secrétaire d'État au Conseil. Notably, as administrateur et commisaire du Roi, he was responsible for the Sèvres manufactory for over a decade, from 1767-1778.
