The wooded landscape painting is comparable to a Hausmaler part-tea and coffee service in the Spreewald- Museum, Lübbenau; and a bourdaloue in the Bavarian Nationalmuseum, Munich, illustrated in Siegfried Ducret, Meißner Porzellan, bemalt in Augsburg, 1718 bis um 1750, Band I, Brunswick, 1971, pp. 238-42, 244, abbs. 314-323 and 325, where the author attributes them to Abraham Seuter. A similar coffee pot, of the same fluted form as the present, from the Oppenheimer Collection, sold, Sotheby’s, New York, 14 September 2021, lot 13. A further example, with silver-gilt mounts, is illustrated in Ducret, ibid, col. pl. II and front cover.
