Though the present kingfishers date to 1765 due to their dot period marks, the model was created at an earlier date. In 1735 Kändler modeled a kingfisher for the king’s Japanese Palace in Dresden. His work report for September 1735 records: Einen Eiss Vogel poussiret Wie er auf einem kleinen Stein Klipgen sitzet daran etwas Blätter Werk gewachsen ist(1). Four years later Eberlein modeled a companion kingfisher model, and his work report for May 1739 records: Eiss Vogel auf einen Felsen sitzend, von Doone gemacht(2). Compare the similar examples from the Wrightsman Collection, dated to 1735, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, object no. 1976.155.122.
