专家说明


The fashion for tightly packed flowerhead decoration is first recorded by J.J. Kaendler at Meissen in June 1740. A bowl, cover and stand with schneeballen or snowball decoration was given to the dauphin, son of Louis XV in 1742, see Maureen Cassidy-Geiger Ed., Fragile Diplomacy, New York, 2007, p. 158, fig. 7 - 25. This decorative concept was revived in the mid-19th century. A similar single vase, 33 inches high, sold Christie’s, London 15 March 2012, lot 87 (£46,850).
