專家說明

Other pieces from this service are known. They include a condiment set which is illustrated by W. Scheffler, Goldschmiede Mittle-Und Nordost Deutschlands, Berlin, 1980, p. 233, no. 53, pl. XX, no. 53 and a set of twelve dinner plates (Sotheby’s, Paris, 30 October 2008, lot 309), both also by Petschler. All the pieces from the service seem to be copied from, or at least inspired by French Empire prototypes. The present tureen for example can be compared to a pair which are marked for J. Guion, Paris, 1809-1819 and which are engraved with the arms of the Duke of Brunswick (Sotheby’s, New York, 27 April 1992, lot 230). That pair was however was supported on four cast seated bulls. A further example by Petschler is suppored on cast swans (Scheffler, op. cit., p. 233, pl. XXI, no. 57).
