A MEISSEN GOLDCHINESEN KAPUZINER-BRAUN-GROUND CREAM-JUG AND A COVER
THE PORCELAIN CIRCA 1740, THE GILDING ALMOST CONTEMPORARY, BLUE CROSSED SWORDS MARK
Of ribbed globular form raised on the three paw feet, with scroll handle and foliate-moulded spout, the Kapuziner-braun ground gilt in Augsburg in the Seuter workshop with vignettes of Oriental figures on a terrace at various pursuits, some holding parasols and flanked by trees, the cover with a figure holding a hoop, a fox and bird with a gilt scroll border to the rim (the associated cover with restored chip to finial)
5¼ in. (13.4 cm.) high (2)

Specialist note

The decoration on the cover appears to match the cream-jug and it is possible that the two belong to each other, but the poor fit of the cover suggests that it could perhaps have belonged to a similar cream-pot in the same service. A Kapuziner-braun teacaddy and cover from 'A Highly Important Collection of Meissen Porcelain', also decorated in the Seuter workshop with a vignette composed of some of the same elements as those on the present lot, was sold in these rooms on 11 December 2007, lot 47.
