Footnotes

This documentary example of Georg Friedrich Grebner's work is unrecorded; Silvia Glaser (Nürnberger Fayencen (2017), pp. 110-112) has listed 39 other pieces painted by Grebner at Nuremberg between 1710 and 1730 that are signed and dated. Grebner is considered one of the most outstanding painters at Nuremberg.

The last Enghalskrug by Georg Friedrich Grebner to appear at auction, signed and dated 16 September 1729, formerly in the collections of Eugen Mayer, Carl Janicke and Dr. Ragnar Børsum, was sold at Sotheby's London, 23 June 1992, lot 28, and is now in the Helmut Neuner Collection (Alfred Ziffer, Malerei und Feuerkunst. Fayencen der Sammlung Neuner (2005), no. 29).
