A PAIR OF HÖCHST PORCELAIN MODELS OF BOARS

R.G. Vater Collection no. 535 (paper collection label attached to the underside of both).

This model is thought to have been created by Laurentius Russinger or by Johann Gottfried Becker.  A model of a single boar with very similar decoration, and bearing the gilt wheel mark, was offered by Lempertz, Cologne, on 29 May 2020, lot 904.  Versions of this model were also made at Strasbourg and subsequently at Frankenthal.  For the Frankenthal model, see René E. Felber, Jagdmotive in der Keramik, Kilchberg, 2001, p. 21.
