A similar teapot from the historic collection of the Margraves of Baden is in Schloss Favorite (U. Grimm/W. Wiese, Was bleibt (1996), p. 57), and another is the Ariana Museum, Geneva (R.

Lot 16
An important early Meissen octagonal dish, circa 1721Painted in underglaze-blue, probably by Johann Kaspar Ripp, with a large circular chinoiserie scene depicting two seated figures flanking a table with a teapot in a garden setting with pagodas in the distance, within concentric circles and a border of overlapping arches and scrolls, the rim decorated with a foliate trellis ground reserved with large flower panels alternating with smaller panels with beribboned auspicious objects, the reverse of the rim and inside of the footrim with concentric circles, 29cm across (restored)Footnotes:Claus Boltz diacovered a notice in the Meissen archives that could provide a clue to the present lot: '6.Dez.1721 D.6.Dec.Zeigte Köhler eine große Schüßel, so dermaßen wohlgerathen,daß man dergleichen hieselbst noch nie gesehen:und wie ich von andern höre,so hat er deren noch dreye.Wozu er noch mehr große Stücke samlet und solche hernach zugleich offeriren will. [On 6th December Köhler showed a large dish, so successful that nothing comparable is known: and as I hear from others, he has three more of them. To which he is adding still more large pieces and wants to afterwards offer them all together] (quoted by Claus Boltz in correspondence with the current owner). The arcanist, David Köhler (1683-1723), was one of J.F Böttger's closest collaborators who became technical director of the manufactory after Böttger's death and succeeded in solving the problem of underglaze-blue decoration in February 1720. The manufactory director, Graf (Count) Seebach, promised the arcanists Köhler and Samuel Stöltzel 100 talers in 1721 if they were to 'succeed in preparing large pieces' (R. Rückert, Biographische Daten der Meißener Manufakturisten des 18. Jahrhunderts (1990), p. 50).The very accomplished underglaze-blue decoration is most likely the work of Johann Caspar Ripp, an experienced faience painter who is recorded in the Meissen manufactory between 1720 and 1723. The seated chinoiserie figures and the hanging willow trees, in particular, appear on several other early examples of Meissen underglaze-blue decoration attributed to Ripp: see, for example, the large baluster vase in the Dresden porcelain collection with comparably dense decoration (K.-P. Arnold et al., Meissener Blaumalerei aus drei Jahrhunderten (1988), no. 12); and the baluster vase in the Gutter Collection (M.L. Santangelo, A Princely Pursuit (2018), no. 23).No other examples of this form appear to be recorded in the literature.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Höroldt, in iron-red with a continuous chinoiserie scene depicting large figures engaged in various amusing pursuits, flanked by flowers, rockwork and a temple, the interior with a circular scene depicting a fisherman in a boat opposite trees and a pagoda on the shore, within concentric circles, a similar border to the rim and above the footrim, 18cm across; 8.8cm highFootnotes:Provenance:The Property of a Lady, sold at Christie's London, 28 June 1976, lot 138Literature:U. Pietsch, Johann Gregorius Höroldt 1696-1775 und die Meissener Porzellan-Malerei (1996), no. 12Exhibited:Dresden, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Porzellansammlung im Zwinger, 'Johann Gregorius Höroldt 1696-1775', 4 August-20 October 1996, no. 12From a very rare, early service painted in iron-red, of which the teapot, slop bowl, three beakers and saucers and three teabowls and saucers were sold by Christie's London, 28 June 1976, lots 138-143, and two other beakers and saucers were sold by Sotheby's London, 7 November 1972, lots 145 and 146 (the former subsequently in the Arnhold Collection, New York). An additional teabowl was sold at Christie's London, 5 July 2004, lot 13. Höroldt is recorded as having decorated a service in red as early as 1720 (Pietsch 1996, p. 38), though the present example can be dated to around 1723 because the teapot bears the K.P.M. mark. Several pieces from the service including the present lot were exhibited in Dresden in 1996 (Pietsch 1996, nos. 7-12), when the decoration was attributed in part to Höroldt himself. A beaker and saucer and a teabowl and saucer are in the Carabelli Collection (Pietsch 2000, nos. 2-3). A beaker and saucer from the service was sold in these Rooms from the Hoffmeister Collection, 25 November 2009, lot 2, and again from the Marouf Collection, 2 May 2013, lot 7. A teabowl and saucer from the service was also sold in these Rooms from the Hoffmeister Collection, 26 May 2010, lot 2. The teapot is in the Tono Dreßen Collection (M.
