Superbly decorated with a continuous deep orange ground band and heavily gilded, highly detailed rams head handles, greek key motif to header and a crowned deer armorial crest to the front and reverse. The fruit cooler is one of the rarest and most coveted tableware pieces amongst antique porcelain. This example is even more valuable with its original liner and lid. Impressed mark to underside.

It was not until the second half of the 18th century that ices became more readily available from confectioner's shops, and these pails were commonly found on upper class homes' sideboards to be used for a dessert of ice cream with cut fruit. If ice alone is used to fill the cover and the bucket, the ice cream melts very quickly.
