insert

Round shape with high neck, short spout, cut, angular handle and cylindrical lid with knob. Inner soldered, unpainted insert for tea leaves, which is an early connection of Chinese elements with baroque sujets. On the wall an all-round representation of two hunting scenes (bear and wild boar hunting) in Eisenrot. The handle as well as the edges of the pot and lid painted with lace and bow borders. On the floor iron-red flower ornament and attached sand remnants. The color and quality of the porcelain as well as the painting are related to the 1721 dated jug in the slg Just, Prague. Painting on this teapot is stylistically close to the fight scene in Eisenrot, with which the Kumme is painted from Chinese porcelain in Prague (UPM, Inv.-Nr. 79.357) and is similar to the pattern of other Meißener or Wiener porcelain. Because of these correspondences, it can be assumed that the artist worked as a painter for the Du Paquier factory as well as his work as a house-painter.
