Description

Important Meissen bottle stand from the swan service Oval body with floral openwork above on a ribbed, recessed stand. Fine, corresponding relief decoration of a swimming swan and a heron standing between tall reeds. All-round colorful decoration of Indian flower branches and scattered blossoms. The alliance coat of arms of Count Heinrich von Brühl and his wife Franziska von Kolowrat-Krakowsky framed on both sides in a shell cartouche. Polychrome painting with gold staffage. Designed by Johann Friedrich Eberlein, 1741, minor stress cracks due to production. Press no. 26. sword mark. H. 17 cm. W. 23 cm. In research also referred to as a grape container and bottle holder, but the characterization as a bottle stand seems correct. The design of the vessel and the open base allow wine bottles to be presented in the shape of bocksbeutels. The dinner service, which originally comprised around 2200 pieces and was commissioned by Heinrich Count von Brühl, director of the Meissen porcelain manufactory under August III, in 1736, is the most magnificent porcelain service of the 18th century and a central work of Meissen porcelain art. It was designed by Johann Joachim Kaendler and modeled between 1737 and 1741 with the help of his collaborators Johann Friedrich Eberlein and Johann Gottlieb Ehder. See Pietsch, cat. Swan Service, no. 44, pp. 168-169. Provenance: formerly in the possession of Heinrich Graf von Brühl; from a southern German collection. A porcelain bottle stand from the "swan service" with the alliance coat of arms of the Count of Brühl and his wife. Insignifacnt production-related hairline cracks. Impressed no. 26. Crossed swords mark. Meissen. Circa 1741 - 1742.
