Note du spécialiste

The mining industry was vital to Saxony's economy and highly valued under Augustus the Strong. Wares decorated with these subjects serve to demonstrate this significance and some pieces show gilt mounds of coal, symbolising the richness and importance of the produce. The scenes are full of detail and the mining officials are singled out with gilt AR monograms to their hats and by their gold buttons. The everyday miner instead has a crossed hammer and chisel to his hat.

For a part service with similar decoration see Rainer Slotta et al., Ein fein bergmannig Porcelan, Abbilder vom Bergbau in 'weißem Gold', Essen, 1999, p. 67.
