D 24,3 cm.Meissen, 1762/63, das Geschirrmodell von Johann Joachim Kaendler.Noch während des Siebenjährigen Kriegs sucht der preußische König Friedrich II. den Meißener Modelleur Johann Joachim Kaendler auf, um ihm seine Wünsche für ein Service mit eigenen Zeichnungen persönlich mitzuteilen. Otto Walcha publizierte 1961 eine Aktennotiz Kaendlers vom 11. November 1762, die sich auf das Japanische Service bezieht. Daraus geht hervor, dass Friedrich II. Kaendler einen französischen Silberteller als Modell übergab, aber auch genaue Angaben zum Dekor lieferte: "Die Mahlery betreffend So soll solcher Servis am Rande gelb mit Mosique gemahlet und an der innern Cante etwas glinde wie gewöhnlich mit schönen Blau, daß sich das Gelbe hebet angedufftet werden. Zu jede Schüssel und Teller haben Ihro Königl. Majt. befohlen ein à partes Indianisches Thier und Vogel schön proportionirlich zu mahlen, als Camele, Elephanten, Renozeros, Panter-Thier, Pavian, Affen Straußen, Casuaries, unterschiedliche Pappagoyen und andere indianische Thiere und Vogel (…)“ Diese Notiz wurde von Friedrich II. gegengezeichnet. Das „bizarrste aller“ Service war für das 1764 fertiggestellte Chinesische Haus im Park von Sanssouci vorgesehen und bestand ursprünglich aus 96 Tellern und 72 Desserttellern sowie vier Terrinen und im Dutzend hergestellter Vorlegeschüsseln. Wieviel davon vor dem Frieden von Hubertusburg fertiggestellt wurde, lässt sich nicht mehr rekonstruieren. Die Teller und Schalen sind heute verstreut in zahlreiche Museen und Sammlungen, teilweise auch nur noch in Fragmenten vorhanden.ProvenienzSammlung Erich von Goldschmidt-Rothschild.Christie´s Genf am 9.

D 24.3 cm.1762/63, plate model designed by Johann Joachim Kaendler.Even whilst the Seven Years' War was still ongoing, the Prussian King Friedrich II sought out the Meissen model maker Johann Joachim Kaendler personally to discuss his wish for a service after his own designs. In 1961, Otto Walcha published an archived note from Kaendler referencing the Japanese service. The note states that Friedrich II presented him with a French silver plate as a model and provided detailed instructions for the décor: “With regards to the painting, the borders of the service should be painted with yellow mosaic, the inner rim with a fine blue, slightly paler than usual, so that the yellow stands out more. His royal majesty requests that each bowl and plate be painted with an Indian animal or bird in fine proportions; camels, elephants, rhinoceros, panthers, baboons, monkeys, ostrich, cassowaries, various parrots and other Indian animals and birds (...)”. The note was countersigned by Friedrich II. This “most bizarre” of all services, intended for the Chinese House in the park of Sanssouci Palace, was completed in 1764. It originally comprised of 96 dinner plates, 72 dessert plates, four tureens and dozens of serving dishes. It is not known how many of these pieces were completed prior to the Peace of Hubertusburg. Today, dishes and plates from the service can be found scattered throughout numerous museums and collections, with some only surviving in fragments.Provenance"Collection of Erich von Goldschmidt-Rothschild.Christie´s Geneva, 9th May 1988, lot 164.Collection of Renate and Tono Dreßen."ExhibitionsKönigliche Eleganz Preußische Pracht, 250 Jahre Königliche Porzellanmanufaktur Berlin KPM, Hetjens-Museum Düsseldorf, 2013.LiteratureIllus. in cat.
