A PAIR OF MEISSEN PORCELAIN CHINOISERIE TEABOWLS AND SAUCERS
Circa 1740, blue crossed swords marks, the teabowls with Dreher's marks for Seidel, the saucers with those for Meinert
Painted in the manner of Christian Friedrich Herold, the teabowls with a bird trainer and figures taking tea, the saucers with either a black Indian attending a steaming kettle for two figures or a veiled lady and two figures beside a rotating drum, within concentric iron-red double circles and scattered indianische Blumen (4)

Note du spécialiste

The woman rotating a drum, on the saucer, is from a polychrome copperplate engraving by Christop Weigel, in Nürnberg, appearing as a variant in the Schulz Codex, pl. 89. This copperplate engraving also appeared in the volumes Inventions Chinoises kept at the Kupferstich-Kabinett in Dresden and available as inspiration to the Meissen artists. However, there is no proof that the engraving was in Dresden before 1738.
