Catalogue note
This écuelle and two stands belong to a small surviving group of early Meissen porcelains painted with courtly hunting scenes probably Johann Gregorius Höroldt. A tea service painted with such scenes, which likely depicted figures of the Dresden court, was gifted by Augustus the Strong to his daughter-in-law Maria Josepha, who had been married to Elector Prince Friedrich August II since 1719. The service was already recorded in the 1721 Inventarium über das Palais zu Alt-Dresden, which lists the contents of the Holländische Palais, later to become the Japanese Palace. The surviving teapot is painted with figures which likely depict the Augustus, Maria Josepha and Friedrich August, is now in the Porzellansammlung, Dresden, along with the waste bowl from the service, inv. nos.

A beaker, similarly painted, is also in the Porzellansammlung, inv. no. PE 644. A teapot from another service in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, and six teabowls and saucers in the Muzeum Narodowe, Warsaw, with iron-red and Böttger lustre cartouches, painted with hunting scenes in a very similar hand and attributed to Höroldt, are illustrated by Ulrich Pietsch et al., Porzellan Parforce, Munich, 2005, pp.86-87, cat. no. 45.
