A Frankenthal cup and saucer, circa 1772

Each painted with a musical Chinoiserie scene depicting a large-scale figure playing bells in a landscape, surrounded by colourful insects, the rims with gilt and puce lambrequin borders, crowned CT marks in underglaze-blue, 72 in underglaze-blue inside footrims and incised marks (2)

Footnotes

It is very likely the scenes are taken from engravings after works by Jean-Baptiste Pillement (1728-1808).

A tea canister with similar decoration which seems to be after the same print source is illustrated in B. Beaucamp-Markowsky, Frankenthaler Porzellan, vol. III (Das Geschirr), p. 219, no. 115. A pair of cups and saucers from the same service as the present lot were in the Ingrid Loosen-Grill Collection, sold Van Ham Kunstauktionen, Cologne, 14 May 2016, lot 1052.
