Coalport pair of wine glass coolers or cachepots

History

The use of a ‘bleu céleste’ type ground was a popular way for the higher end English manufacturers, notably as Coalport and Minton, to reimagine something Sèvres had first created and mastered a century earlier.

In a Sèvres context, the small size of these examples would suggest their use to be for cooling wine glasses. Today they are more useful as plant pot holders, or cachepots.
