Glass tumbler cooler, painted tin plate, gilded and featuring chinoiserie, France or Great Britain, c. 1760.
Description:Glass tumbler cooler, painted tin plate, gilded and featuring chinoiserie, France or Great Britain, c. 1760.
These coolers were produced in early 18th century Britain, before by chance ending up in France or Italy in the middle of that century.
The technique used involved laying out a thin sheet of iron or copper, and then covering it with a material whose main component was fossilized carbon. This prepared the surface for decoration.
The technique was used to produce small and medium-sized objects, as well as furniture.
The inside of our tumbler have lost its original cream-colored coating where the ice would have sat.
Restoration: none
Age:c. 1760
Dimensions:4.2 in. high, 11.8 in. wide / 10,5 cm. high, 30 cm. wide
