專家說明

The Meissen manufactory Jahrbuch for April 1745 includes the following entry under Kändler's name: Für die Königin 2 Indianische Vögel in Dressden poussirt, wie solche nebeneinander sitzen, darbey Bläume mit Kirschen und anderen Früchten befindlich, a later reference from January 1747 refers to the preparation of wax originals for making the moulds, 1 neues Groupgen zerschnitten, woran unterschiedliche Pappagoys befindlich sind.

For similar examples see Carl Albiker, Meissner Porzellan (1959), no. 130 in a Dresden private collection; Otto Walcha, Meissner Porzellan (Dresden, 1973), pp. 466-467, no. 33; and two examples sold by Sotheby's on 18th November 1969, lot 94, formerly in the collection of F. Thornhill Esq. and on 4th May 1985, lot 90, formerly the property of Mr. Henry Ford, II. The present example would appear to be previously unrecorded.
