專家說明

The fashion for tightly packed flowerhead decoration is first recorded by J.J. Kaendler at Meissen in June 1740. A bowl, cover and stand with schneeballen or snowball decoration was given to the dauphin, son of Louis XV in 1742, see Maureen Cassidy-Geiger Ed., Fragile Diplomacy, New York, 2007, p. 158, fig. 7 - 25. This decorative concept was revived in the mid-19th century. This particular vase is exceptional both in size and technical virtuosity; the caged lower part enclosing a canary perched on a branch being particularly challenging for the potter.
