Lot Essay

Cf. Rainer Ruckert, Meissener Porzellan, no. 296, for a tureen from the same service where he mentions that Count von Friesen ordered in 1731 a service which is related to Kandler's work report from November 1733. "5 Stück Teller Rattiret mit Indianischen Ziraten, Wo die Teller in Masse darauf gedrucket werden". A similar example was sold by Sotheby's, 17 May 1987, lot 243 and another in the Hetjens Museum, Dusseldorf, Adalbert Klein, Europaisches Porzellan, vol I, no. 50
