A MEISSEN FABELTIERE LARGE CIRCULAR DISH

Only three other plates from this service appear to have been recorded. One of them, a plate formerly in the Klemperer Collection, was painted with the same scene found on one of a series of watercolour sketches signed by Löwenfinck which are still in the Meissen factory archives (for the plate, destroyed in the Second World War, see Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Porzellansammlung Gustav von Klemperer, Dresden, 1928, pl. 21, no. 126; for the watercolour sketches, see Otto Walcha in 'Vorlageblätter von Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck', Keramos, no. 34, October 1966, pp. 130-135, fig. 6). For the second plate, formerly in the Stout Collection, see Mrs. C.B. Stout Collection of Early Meissen Porcelain, Brooks Memorial Art Gallery, Memphis, Tennessee, April-September 1966 Exhibition Catalogue, no. 45, and the final plate, see Mary Campbell Gristina et al., The Wark Collection, Early Meissen Porcelain (Jacksonville, 1984), p. 139, no. 189.
