Lot Essay
This distinctive pattern of scattered beasts, insects and flowers derives from Japanese porcelain, and it was used at both Meissen and Chantilly on vases and wares in the late Baroque period. An identical sake-bottle (Inv. Nr. P.E. 623) in the Porzellansammlung, Dresden, is illustrated by Masako Shono, Japanisches Aritaporzellan im sogenannten 'Kakiemonstil' als Vorbild für die Meissener Porzellanmanufaktur Exhibition Catalogue (Munich, 1973), pl. 28, and also by Ingelore Menzhausen, Porzellansammlung im Zwinger (Dresden, 1986), p. 71. For a pair of cylindrical vases with waisted necks, see Abraham L. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum Rijksmuseum Catalogue (Amsterdam, 2000), Vol. 4, no. 139.
