Provenance:
Anon. sale, Sotheby's London, 26 November 1985 lot 219;
Acquired in the above sale

Literature:
Hoffmeister 1999, II, no. 349

Exhibited:
Hamburg, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, 1999-2009

The tentative attribution to the Minghelli family of Bologna stems from the above-mentioned Sotheby's sale. The coat-of-arms shows is similar, but cannot be attributed with certainty. Schnorr von Carolsfeld attributed the arms firmly to Count Camillo Marcolini.

Count Camillo Marcolini-Ferretti (1739-1814), the seventh son of an impoverished nobleman whom the Crown Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony had met in Italy, began his career as a page at the Saxon court. In 1768, he became Chamberlain to the new Elector, Friedrich August. The young Elector placed great trust in Marcolini, who became a close friend and advisor, and in 1774, he placed the Meissen manufactory under Marcolini's direction. The manufactory then began to recover something of the quality and direction that it had lost during the Seven Years War. He followed the king of Saxony into exile in 1813 and died in Prague the following year.
