Catalogue note
Johann Aufenwerth (1662-1728) was a German goldsmith and Hausmaler and signed works by him on Meissen porcelain are recorded, including polychrome enamel chinoiserie decoration in the style of J. G. Höroldt and the Du Paquier factory. Among his eight children were his daughters, Anna Elisabeth and Sabina. Anna Elisabeth, his second child, was baptized on February 3, 1696 at the Protestant church of St Ulrich. She worked as a decorator and in 1722 married the Nuremberg goldsmith, Jakob Wald. Sabina, the younger of the sisters, was born a decade or so later, and married Isaac Heinrich Hosennestel, a goldsmith, silversmith and Kaffeeschenk or Kaffetier on December 3, 1731. Both sisters painted porcelain in a very similar chinoiserie style to one another, and both sometimes signed their work with a monogram.
A Hausmaler decorated teapot of this form, painted with birds and insects, probably by Bartholomäus Seuter, sold at Sotheby's London, 28 June 1973, lot 58; again at Sotheby's New York, The Collection of Marian and Michael Sabee, 10 November 2006, lot 17, and most recently when in the West Collection, Christie's London, 18 October 2017, lot 766.
Cranfield University used non-invasive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for this lot to screen the green enamel for chromium, which was not detected, a result consistent with 18th century manufacture.
