A pair of Meissen figures of sheep, mid 18th century

Modelled by Peter Reinicke, each naturalistically coloured, on a base applied with branches, leaves and flowers, 15cm high, crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue to the rear of the base on one (restoration to extremities) (2)

Footnotes

Another example of the model looking to the left is in the collection of the Landesmuseum, Schwerin, illustrated in Carl Albiker, Die Meissener Porzellantiere im 18. Jahrhundert (1959), no. 213. He mentions Reinicke's work records: 'detto (Schaf) aufrecht stehend ... zum Basseng in Thon boussirt.' (Albiker (1959), p. 24.).
