Böttger Kendi, Meissen, ca. 1710–1713 Böttger stoneware. Spherical form with a long cylindrical neck on a footring. Finely crafted spout in the shape of an animal’s head. Chinese-style relief decoration featuring dragons, clouds, a flaming pearl, various plants, and a ruyi motif. The base bears the black inventory number 232/R from the historical collection of Augustus the Strong. H 16 cm. - Minimal signs of age. A small firing flaw in the footring and fine firing cracks on the neck and below the spout. The inventory number on the base identifies the kendi as part of Augustus the Strong’s historical porcelain collection, which was housed in the Japanese Palace beginning in 1717. An inventory from 1770 lists 59 kendis. The piece offered here may be one of the 13 unglazed kendis that were auctioned off by the Rudolph Lepke auction house in 1919 and 1920 during two sales of duplicates. Provenance: - Private collection, Zurich
