In 1709 Johann Friedrich Boettger invented china. The Meissen factory which he founded, and later the Vienna factory under Dupaquier, created a number of perfume bottles, which are treasured possessions of many lovers of early china. The artistic quality and the charming humor of the early Meissen pieces inspired many of the Chelsea Scent bottles. A quite spectacular one is the figure of a provender for a monastery carrying in the basket on his back provisions and a good-looking girl.
Romance inspired many other models, bearing mottos of gallant or sentimental nature. Cupid, sharpening his arrow, explains, “II entrera mieux†(it will enter better).
