Rare horseman's cup. Meissen. Sword mark, 1934–1945, 1 scratch mark below the mark. Designed in 1937. SCHEURICH, Paul (1883 New York – 1945 Brandenburg) Coral-red decoration, gold accents. Cup (H 8 cm), original saucer (Ø 14.5 cm). Bell-shaped with rocaille handle. On the front, a coral-red motif depicting a rider falling from a rearing horse. Paul Scheurich presented the first decorative designs featuring riders to the manufactory in 1937. Under the name “Reitertassen” (Horseback Rider Cups), these were transferred to metal plates and used in a printing process to decorate cups. The first cups were decorated in this manner in 1937. However, no sales were recorded at that time. In 1995, the cups were remolded for the Paul Scheurich anniversary exhibition, but this time they were decorated using the aquatint process.
