Meissen teapot, c. 1725 Gold decoration, probably Augsburg, c. 1730 Porcelain. Mark: swords in blue. Height 14 cm. Conservation: very good@@@ insignificant wear to the gold. The teapot was first painted in blue at the Meissen manufactory, with the oriental porcelain-inspired motif known as "Fels- und Vogeldekor": i.e., rocks from which prunus shrubs, insects and a hummingbird-like bird in flight emerge. It was later painted in engraved gold with dense tiny vegetation at the Seuter workshop in Augsburg, Bavaria. Meissen had an intense exchange with goldsmiths in the city of Augsburg where he sent his porcelain to be mounted in gold, silver, or vermeilles. Workshops sprang up in this city that specialized in decorating white porcelain that was purchased in Meissen. The skill and sensitivity of these painters was often exceptional, to such an extent that the Meissen manufactory itself, intimidated by this competition, banned the sale of white porcelain at a certain time. Then Augsburg artists set about repainting the porcelain coming out of Meissen with blue underglaze decoration as in our teapot. For an extensive dissertation on Augsburg production in "radiert" gold, i.e., engraved, see S.Ducret, Meissner Porzellan bemalt in Augsburg, 1718 bis 1750, 1971, vol. I. Pieces with this decorative type are published for example in R.RUECKERT, Meissener Porzellan 1710-1810, München 1966 nn. 97-98@@@ M.Cassidy-Geiger, The Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain 1710-50, 2008, nn. 290-291
