Description
modelled by J. W. Lanz, of elaborate rococo-form, one side painted with a scene of figures on horseback in a rural landscape, the other with a battle scene of soldiers on horseback, within low-relief scroll-moulded cartouches, the baluster body applied with two double-scroll handles and supported on four pierced scroll feet, the pierced cover moulded with rocaille scrolls, enriched in dark-puce and gilding, rampant lion mark in underglaze-blue
Height 9 ½ in; 24 cm
A particularly close example, painted with a scene of hunters on horseback was in the Dr. Ludwig Darmstädter Collection, Berlin, sold, Rudolph Lepke's, Berlin, 24-26 March 1925, lot 335. Two further pot-pourri vases of this form are illustrated and discussed in Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Frankenthaler Porzellan Das Geschirr, Band 3, Munich, 2014, pp. 362-64, 376-79, cat. nos. 238 and 245. Beaucamp-Markowsky references the Frankenthal price lists which refers to “Pot Pourris en baroque, peints à fleurs naturelles, bords & ornaments dorés”, priced at 72 livres, which may correspond to the present model. The vase form was soon imitated at the Nymphenburg factory by the modeller Dominikus Auliczek.
