Footnotes
Provenance:
E.A. Titgemeyer Collection, Osnabrück
This service is said to have been given by Frederick to one of the most renowned Prussian generals, and one of his favourites, Hans Joachim von Ziethen (1699-1786). Until recently, only a handful of pieces were recorded in the literature, including eighteen formerly in the collection of Erich von Goldschmidt-Rothschild (sold by Ball & Graupe, Berlin, 25 March 1931, lot 625). In 2006, over 150 pieces from the service were sold with the contents of Shrubland Park, Suffolk, where they had been since at least 1860 (Sotheby's, Shrubland Park, Suffolk, 19-21 September 2006, lot 821), where they were acquired for the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg (Wittwer 2006).
