This previously unrecorded piece is evidently made to match the Japanese Table-service made for Frederick the Great by the Berlin manufacture and destined for the Japanische Haus at Sanssoucci. A similar écuelle, cover and stand was in the Paul Schnyder von Wartensee Collection, sold Sotheby's, 29 June 1982, lot 15 and illustrated by Siegfried Ducret, German Porcelain and faience, Fribourg 1971, pl. 24. For the Berlin service, ordered by Frederick in 1709 and delivered in April 1770 at a cost of 4756 thalers, see Erich Kollmann and Margarete Jarchow, Berliner Porzellan, Munich 1987, vol. I,p. 50 and Vol. II, pp. 442/3

This present lot, which is obviously a replacement or copy made at Fürstenberg must therefore date from the 1770's. Since Frederick the Great's sister, Philippine, was married to the Duke of Brunswick, patron of the Fürstenberg manufacture it is probable that the present lot was made at her instance
