A GOLD-MOUNTED GERMAN PORCELAIN RECTANGULAR SNUFF-BOX AND COVER

A box with figural scenes enclosed by similar rococo scrolls against a related puce diaper ornament ground is illustrated by Michael Röbbig-Reyes in Sarah-Katharina Acevedo et al., Meissen Snuff Boxes of the Eighteenth Century, Munich, 2013, pp. 266-267, Cat. No. 63, where the painting is attributed to Gottlob Siegmund. A box with a similar scene on the interior of the cover, which must presumably have been taken from the same print source, and with figural scenes on the exterior similarly reserved against a ground of cubes, is illustrated by Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Boîtes en Porcelaine, des manufactures européennes au 18e siècle, Fribourg, 1985, p. 265, no. 213, where it is attributed to Vienna.
