Height cm. 33.Standing cup with cover and stand ca. 1735 Meissen Manufactory German Commissioned by Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, to commemorate the state visit to Dresden in January 1728 of the king and queen of Prussia, parents of Frederick the Great. The queens initials, SD for Sophie-Dorothea, are three times displayed. The larger finial figure of Athena is closely related to a silver statuette in the Electoral collections at Dresden, made by Philipp Kuesel of Augsburg before 1700. The turquoise ground has reserves with gold-lace borders painted by Heroldt with colorful chinoiserie figures in idyllic landscapes. This splendid cup illustrates that interesting phase of early Meissen production when the compelling influence of all things Chinese had been superseded by a temporary dependence on silver shapes; the lure of the Orient continued in the painted decoration..

Date: ca. 1786.Ivory-turning had been a fashionable pastime at European courts during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and it was revived in France and elsewhere during the second half of the eighteenth century. Louis XV worked the lathe himself, and his daughters received instruction in this art form. His grandson the dauphin, the future Louis XVI, also took lessons, as did his brothers. A group of ivory vases was recorded at the Chteau de Versailles on the eve of the Revolution, possibly created by members of the royal family. It is more likely, however, that Michel Voisin (1729-1786), turning master to Louis XVI, or his son François was responsible for these precious, lacelike objects. A series of engraved designs by the younger Voisin, entitled Nouveau Cahier de vases, composés par Voisin Fils, includes a vase that is similar to Perfume bottle; 1.
