A Meissen chrysanthemum-shaped bowl, circa 1740

Painted in Kakiemon style with a seated boy holding a fan facing another figure standing with a flower-vase on his back and two birds overhead 18.5cm diam, crossed swords in underglaze-blue, impressed 20 to the inside of the rim (two restored haircracks to rim)

Footnotes

A lobed teabowl and saucer with the same decoration from the Said and Roswitha Marouf Collection, La Jolla, was sold in these Rooms, 15 June 2016, lot 117. The shape and decoration of all these Kakiemon type objects, including the present one, are faithfully copied from a Japanese Kakiemon original (den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum, 2000, p. 251). A mug with impressed mark 24 (and therefore dateable after 1739) is illustrated by den Blaauwen, op.cit, cat.no. 181.
