Black Figure with a Sweetmeat Dish
Factory:
Du Paquier, Claudius Innocentius
Modeller:
Eberlein, Johann Friedrich
(After)
Hard-paste porcelain painted in enamels
Hard-paste porcelain, moulded, and painted overglaze in blue, green, yellow, pale orange, mauve, orange-red, and black enamels, and gilt. The closed base is unglazed and pierced by seven small ventilation holes, and the rims of the bowl and cover are unglazed. The figure stands beside the bowl on a rock base decorated with applied flowers and leaves. He wears a feather skirt and headdress and holds a flower in his raised left hand.. The oval bowl has a domed lid with a double rose twig handle, twisted together at the top and terminating in four flowers at the junctions with the body. On the side of the bowl there is a gold-edged oblong panel with incurved corners and rounded ends, painted in black with a couple and a man by a pedestal in a landscape. The cover is decorated with four smaller panels each decorated with a figure in a landscape: a seated lady, a man with a pack on his back, a man with walking stick; and another man with a walking stick with another in the background holding a stick over his shoulder.
