schema:text P.E. de Fontanieu (1731-1784) was director of the Garde Meuble de la Couronne, following in his father's footsteps, from 1767 until 1783. While in office he oversaw the transition from the rococo to the emerging neo-classical style, which he implemented for the furnishings throughout the Royal palaces in France. Fontaine dedicated this Collection des vases to King Louis XV. It was designed, as the title makes clear, as a pattern book for artists and those who worked as designers for the Sèvres porcelain factory. The book is unusual, the vase designs are shown in outline shape, followed by another illustration showing the vase with its overlying ornamentation; in all twenty-six separate designs are shown
