Kändler, with finely decorated Clocksthes and the tools of his trade, mounted allover - blue crossed swords, impressed and painted marks to the underside, 43cm high. Count Heinrich Von Brühl' (1700 - 1763) was The Kingdom of Saxony's Minister of the Interior and a Director of the Meissen factory from 1733 - 1763. By tradition, the Count's socially ambitious tailor asked for an invitation to dine at Court, in order to put him in his place the Count requested Kändler to make a comic figure of the tailor so he could be placed on the dining table rather than a guest at itCondition report: Some losses and restoration commensurate with age, including to the tailor's spectacles and scissors, to one of the goat's feet, one horn and ear, and some other extremities - displays well.
