A Vienna porcelain figure of a Cavalier dressed as a cook, c.1755-60, blue shield mark, incised H mark, puce H. and puce vz mark, modelled with a nobleman dressed as a cook, wearing a white hat, a puce waistcoat, white shirt and white apron, holding spit with grilled meat, a stove nearby with a dish of cooking gamebirds and a saucepan, on a mound base, 19.7cm highProvenance: The Property of John Kenworthy-Browne FSA.Note: A large portion of costumes in 18th century Viennese courtly fancy-dress balls were based on various roles carried out by servants. Daniele Antonio Bertolis costume designs for the 1732 Bauernwirtschaft included a number of servants costumes, and it is thought that the present figure of a cook, and his companion figure, were modelled with clothes derived from Bertolis designs, see Elisabeth Sturm-Bednarczyk (Ed.) and Elisabeth Sladek, Ceremonies · Feasts · Costumes, Viennese Porcelain figures during the Reign of Maria Theresa, Vienna, 2007, p. 112, no. 158 (with his companion figure), and pp. 121-122.Condition Report: The spit of meat, his hands and his right forearm have been broken off, restuck and restored with associated overpainting. The restoration is acceptable but a little crude (the definition of his left fingers and right cuff is obscured by overpainting, so it is difficult to be sure if these areas are original). In addition, the saucepan handle is restored, and the feet of bird have been chipped (and re-touched to disguise the chip) these are minor.
