專家說明

Kändler's Taxa for April 1734 mentions the model with a lark '1 Rittelweibgen oder Lerchengeyer, welches vorstellet in Lebensgrösse, wie eseine Lerche frisst, rubet auf einem verziertem Postament.' Similar examples of both are illustrated by Carl Albiker, Die Meissener Porzellantiere im 18. Jahrhundert, Berlin, 1959, p. 103-5. A pair mounted as candelabra were sold Christie's, London, 12 December 2002, lot 80.
