Rare pair of magnificent Meissen vases with "Triumphal procession of Alexander the Great to Babylon" Baluster-shaped body on a raised, multi-jointed round base, surrounded by an acanthus and pearl frieze in relief and various ornamental bands. The handles with shell relief rising curved in large leaf volutes at the shoulder. Cobalt blue ground. The front sides decorated with a sequence of various antique-style figure scenes on a broad ornamental base, preferably from the cycle "Entry of Alexander the Great into Babylon", based on the marble frieze by Berthel Thorvaldsen in Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, as well as drawings and engravings by Johann Friedrich Overbeck and Samuel Amsler. Another model is by Jean François Janinet with drawings by Jean Guillaume Moitte. Scenic depictions on both sides, including the warriors Alexander the Great and the Babylonian general Bagophanes, as well as dancing Persian women with the seated Minerva. On the counterpart Bagophanes and his altar with two further muses as well as Alexander the Great looking back at his army with spear, in a triumphal chariot led by Nike with four horses, followed by two armed forces. Fine, relief-like enamel painting applied in white. Rich gold decoration with gold bronze. Designed by Ernst August Leuteritz. Model no. D 153. sword mark. H. 58 cm and 60 cm. Extremely skillful enamel painting against a cobalt blue ground. Inspired by Sèvres and Royal Worcester porcelains, this technique in the style of Limousin enamel painting was first executed in Meissen in 1865 and presented at the 1867 World Exhibition in Paris. This showed scenic depictions of the entry of Alexander the Great into Babylon based on a design by Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770 - 1844). Thorvaldsen first produced the triumphal procession for Napoleon Bonaparte, then in 1829 for Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, from which Samuel Amsler produced engravings based on drawings by Friedrich Overbeck. Amsler's engravings, which also appeared in Hermann Lücke's "Der Einzug Alexander des Grossen in Babylon: Marmorfries von B. Thorwaldsen", provided the motif basis for the depictions of a Meissen krater vase of this kind. Cf. Jedding, Meissen Porcelain, color illus. I and pp. 86f., Berling, p. 91; Siemen, no. 42, pp. 368, 377; Klassisches Meissen, p. 103; Thorvaldsen-Museum, Copenhagen, inv. no. E 35.0, 11, 12, 14, 15.
