Painted probably by J.G. Höroldt in underglaze-blue with a chinoiserie scene depicting a standing and a seated figure flanking a table, with further figures, including a woman holding a baby, to the sides, flanked by flowering plants, trees and rockwork, birds and insects in flight overhead, a seeded trellis band reserved with quatrelobe flower panels around the foot, the handle with a flower between two leaves, the pewter cover with ball thumbpiece.

Note: See U. Pietsch/C. Banz, Triumph der blauen Schwerter (2010), nos. 68-76, for vessels and dishes decorated in underglaze-blue and polychrome enamels with chinoiserie scenes in the distinctive style attributed to Johann Gregorius Höroldt and Johann Christoph Horn; the physiognomy of the figures and the hanging foliage on the tree, in particular, are closely similar. See footnote to lot 13.
