CIRCA 1750, BLUE CROSSED SWORDS MARKS

An example of the form (with the addition of a Brühlsches Allerlei relief-moulded border), the modelling attributed to Ehder, is illustrated by Ulrich Pietsch, et al., Schwanen Service, Meissener Porzellan für Heinrich Graf von Brühl, Exhibition Catalogue, Leipzig, 2000, p. 207, no. 148. In October 1746 Ehder noted in his work-book ‘A small ice-bucket for the Brühlsches Servis of the noble family von Thon’. This type of vessel served to cool wine bottles.
