A Meissen tureen and cover and a stand, circa 1750-60

Each painted in shades of green and flesh tones with a Watteauesque vignette of elegant figures in landscape settings, on the tureen and cover within gilt-edged moulded cartouches, alternating with flower cartouches, flanked by moulded flowers and leaves ('Dulong' pattern), the cover surmounted by a putto emptying a cornucopia of flowers and fruit, the tureen with scroll- and vegetable handles, the stand moulded with 'Gotzkowsky' flowers, painted with four flower sprigs around the rim, the scroll handles edged in gilding, the stand: 47.8cm across handles, crossed swords marks in blue and underglaze-blue, the tureen with C. in purple (putto's right arm restored) (3)

Footnotes

The 'C' mark in purple enamel (standing for 'Conditorei' or Confectionary) was used on services in Count Heinrich von Brühl's confectionary; see, for example, the plate from the "Brühl'sche Allerlei" service published by Lessmann 2000, p. 107, ill. 76.
