Vater Collection of European Ceramics.Photographs: © Christie's Images Footnotes: Note: Small sets of porcelain tankards were made at Vienna, which was unusual for the 18th century as tankards were typically made from stoneware, pottery or metal. For three slightly smaller tankards of the du Paquier period decorated with chinoiserie scenes in black and gold in the Esterházy Collection, Schloss Eisenstadt, see Meredith Chilton (Ed.), Fired by Passion, Vienna Baroque Porcelain of Claudius Innocentius du Paquier, Dettingen, 2009, Vol. 3, p. 1256, no. 154. A set of six Vienna porcelain small tankards of the same sort of size as the present lot were recorded in a 1738 inventory as Wermuth Krügel, see Meredith Chilton, ibid., p. 1261, no. 173. Wermuth beer (which was flavoured with bitter wormwood) was thought to have health benefits. Condition Report: Overall in good order. Some very, very minor wear to enamels.
