pot / jug / ewer

The teapot and a paddock bear the subglaze blue sword mark Meissens, another paddock the ascula mark, the two chocolate cups with saucers are to be attributed without a mark and the manufactory Du Paquier. The Viennese resident Carl Wendelin Anreiter von Ziernfeld has put together available parts from the two early manufactures for this service, which was created in house painting, and in an experimental manner with liquid black solder and feather in the volatile nature of the copper engravings of Salvator Rosas or his southern German successor Franz Joachim Beich, whose small landscapes are derived from the estate of the Viennese porcelain manuals As Anreiter is detectable in connection with the Viennese manufactory, this service proves the fact that in the years of the Du Paquier factory a double employment was possible. Even though the manufactory may have allowed signatures, the use of Meissen porcelain is an unmistakable proof of a painting outside the factory. The presentation of the landscape with ruins and figures in a boat on the teapot was also included in two other works by Anreiter, who he signed in Doccia and who traveled to Florence as part of his belongings. The monochrome crosshatches imitate copper engravings, a technique that Jakob Helchis also used. Some of the depictions have a engraving by Aegidius Sadeler from 1615 as a model, which dates back to a cycle of landscapes as monthly representations of Paul Bril.
