Lot Essay

A teapot from this service was sold in our New York Rooms, 22 January 2003, lot 163. A cup from the collection of Hans Syz was sold at Sotheby's New York, 20 January 1998, lot 2045; and a pair of teabowls and saucers were sold at Christie's London, 7 April 1997, lot 185.
The border with its display of stately lambrequin flowered and tasselled, reflects the Louis XIV antique manner such as was popularised in Holland and England by the Oeuvres of Daniel Marot, architect to William III. The same decoration was used for the Japanese Imari service of the family Van Buuren.
