拍品专文

This teapot and the following lot are possibly from the same service as a teacaddy and a pair of teacups and saucers sold in these Rooms on 21st February 2005, lots 87 and 88. For another teapot of similar form and decoration (but with a gilt spout) in the Cummer Gallery of Art, Jacksonville, Florida, see 'The Wark Collection, Early Meissen Porcelain' Catalogue (1984), p. 164, no. 279.
