專家說明

Forming part of a rococo table centrepiece the Continents are a rare group as the factory favoured production of the Seasons, after Kändler's models for Meissen (see lot 61). An example of the model of Asia is illustrated by Kurt Röder and Michel Oppenheim, Das Höchster Porzellan, Mainz, 1930, pl. 26d, no. 158.
