teapot

human history
  • Description

    teapot and cover, [porcelain], decorated with insects and birds, two medallions on either side show scenes with figures, gilt decoration. The mark K P M means Konigliche Porzellan Manufactur (Royal Porcelain Factory) were used from 1723 to 1724 (Cushion, 1980, p. 78). At Applied arts card "decorated by Horold?". [The rose puce decoration imitated the Chinese export famille rose porcelain decoration]

    The chinoiserie scenes in the cartouches are of the type developed by Johann Gregorius Horoldt (1696-1775), the influential director of painting, who came to Meissen as a decorator in 1720. Many of these designs are related to a group of pen and ink sketches attributed to Horoldt that appear in the so-called Schulz Codex in the Museum des Kunsthandwerks in Leipzig, Germany.
