Seltenes Présentoir mit Kauffahrteimalerei um 1774. Meissen. Punktschwerter über "4", 1 Schleifstrich. Prägezeichen: H. Polychrom bemalt, goldstaffiert. L 39,5 cm. Ovale Unterplatte zu einer vierfüßigen Terrine: mit vertieftem Vierpass-Spiegel, zwei breiten, durchbrochen gearbeiteten Rocaillehandhaben und einer fein polychrom gemalten figurenreichen Kauffahrteiszene im Spiegel, auf der Fahne farbige indianische Streublümchen. Am Standring kurzer, nicht durchgehender Haarriss. Das Vorbild für das Présentoir ist das sogenannte "Finkenstein-Service", das vermutlich ein Geschenk von Friedrich dem Großen an seinen Gesandten, geheimen Staats- und Kabinettsminister sowie engsten Freund Karl Wilhelm Finkenstein (1714-1800) gewesen ist. Die nach französischer Art gestaltete Form geht auf ein Modell von Jean-Claude Chambellan Duplessis (1690-1774 Paris) zurück, der Goldschmied und Bronzegießer, aber auch Bildhauer und Entwerfer für die Porzellanmanufakturen in Vincennes und Sèvres war.

Aufrufzeit 29. | Okt. 2026 | voraussichtlich 14:42 Uhr (CET) Rare display case with merchant ship painting, circa 1774. Meissen. Dot marks above "4," 1 scratch mark. Mark: H. Polychromatic painting, gilded. L 39.5 cm. Oval base plate for a four-legged tureen: with a recessed quatrefoil center panel, two wide, openwork rocaille handles, and a finely polychromatic painted scene depicting a merchant’s voyage with numerous figures in the center panel; on the flag, colorful Native American scattered flowers. A short, non-continuous hairline crack on the footring. The model for the présentoir is the so-called “Finkenstein Service,” which was presumably a gift from Frederick the Great to his envoy, secret state and cabinet minister, and closest friend, Karl Wilhelm Finkenstein (1714–1800). The French-style design is based on a model by Jean-Claude Chambellan Duplessis (1690–1774, Paris), who was a goldsmith and bronze caster, as well as a sculptor and designer for the porcelain manufactories in Vincennes and Sèvres.
