Sugar bowl with a lid and a branch handle, Koenigliche Porzellain Fabrique, Meissen (1710–1763), manufacturer; ca. 1750. Cylindrical sugar bowl, rounded at the base, with a slightly arched lid with a plastic, colorfully painted branch handle terminating in four flowers and leaves: three forget-me-nots, two brick-red flowers and one yellow. On the sides of the body two cartouche frames and on the cover one, each framed by purple draperies suspended from small flower bouquets and dry rocailles, topped and bottomed symmetrically with brick-red draperies suspended from plant branches. Within the cartouches are purple-camaieu landscape miniatures with architecture and staffage: (1) fragment of a hill with trees, two figures, and a building in a valley; (2) two buildings among bushes; cover: (3) a plateau with a house and a distant hill to the right. Between the cartouches on the body are two colorful ornamental-floral motifs; on the lid two woodcut flowers and three insects. Rim of bowl and lid gilded.
