A fine pair of Meissen
sugar castors, of baluster shape, the raised domed covers moulded with
scales and pierced with holes and surmounted by a flower finial, painted
in the Kakiemon style but in Chinese famille verte colours, with a beetle
beside flowering oriental plants with a phoenix bird in flight overhead.
Circa: 1774 – 1814
Height: 4 ¼ ins (10.5 cm)
Marks: Crossed swords beneath star in underglaze blue and impressed numals

An unusual mix of Japanese Kakiemon and Chinese famille verte elements.
The shape is found at Meissen from c. 1730, see Rainer Ruckert, “Meissener
Porzellan 1710-1810”, no. 331.
