Description
Blue crossed swords on an unglazed base. The rectangular vessel with steep walls, with flat shells serving as side handles, stands on four small curved, gilded feet. The inside is decorated with a ribbed scallop relief, the offset base with concentric scallop ribs and a swan relief depicting two swans swimming on the waves of a reed-fringed body of water and facing each other, a heron standing to the left with its head turned backwards and a carp in its beak, and a heron flying overhead. The Brühl-Kolowrat-Krakowsky alliance coat of arms appears in each of the sculpted scalloped overlays, while the inner wall is painted with four ‘Indian’ and scattered flowers on the centre axis.
Provenance
Heinrich Count Brühl (1700-1763); on loan from Count Brühl to the Dresden Museum of Decorative Arts from 1920 (no. 1154); relocated from the Dresden Museum of Decorative Arts to Reichstädt Castle in Saxony due to the war; lost since 1945; [...]; Further examples: Warsaw, Muzeum narodowe, inv. no. 131207 MNW, gift 1949; Mönchengladbach, Museum Schloss Rheydt, inv. no. 8156; Warsaw, Muzeum Narodowe, inv. no. SZC 3130; examples at auction: Rempex Warsaw, 7-18 March 1998, no. 5; it cannot be ruled out that the piece was part of the loan looted from the Dresden Museum of Decorative Arts in 1945
