Lot Essay

The green ground on this beaker has characteristics very similar to the yellow waste-bowl decorated in Augsburg by Elizabeth Wald offered as lot 366 in the present sale. For a Meissen turquoise-ground waste bowl painted with ice-skaters and likely by the same hand, see Property from the Collection of Mary Porter Walsh, Christie's, New York, 24 May 2000, lot 68.
