Provenance:
The Sperling Collection, Munich
The so-called 'Atlasmuster' appears in the price lists ('Preiscourant') of 1792 as 'en taffent geflammt' and was based on a textile pattern also popular at other factories such as Vienna and Frankenthal. See A. Ziffer, Nymphenburger Porzellan, Sammlung Bäuml (1997), nos. 658-667 for further examples.
As noted in the collector's introduction, Rückert considered the present lot to be the most complete early Nymphenburg coffee service decorated in this pattern.
