A Meissen large circular dish from the Swan Service, circa 1738-39

Modelled by J.J. Kaendler in low relief with swans swimming among bulrushes and a crane to the left with another in flight overhead, all on a shell-moulded ground, the rim painted with the arms of Brühl/Kolowrat-Krakowska, three flower sprigs and further scattered blooms, the rim with a gilt border, 33.9cm diam., crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, impressed Dreher's mark for Johann Christoph Pietzsch, incised III inside footrim (small restored rim chip)

Footnotes

See footnote to preceding lot. Kaendler's overtime records show that he worked on dishes of various sizes for the Swan Service between April and July 1738, and also repaired the forms for the size dish in April 1739 (see U. Pietsch, Schwanenservice (2000), no. 27, where the author also lists other published examples of this size).

Saleroom notices

Please note there are two small restored flat rim chips.
