Lot Essay

A teabowl and saucer from the same service, formerly in the Otto Höffer Collection, was sold in these Rooms on 5th July 2004, lot 36. The Höffer teabowl and saucer also had the same slightly different borders on each piece. A bowl with similar decoration, probably from the same service, is illustrated by U. Pietsch, Early Meissen Porcelain Exhibition Catalogue (Lübeck, 1993), pp. 70-71, no. 56, where he discusses the differences between opal lustre used here, and Böttger lustre.
