A RARE PLATE
Meissen, ca. 1725–30. Painted in the style of Johann Ehrenfried Stadler.
The decoration is dominated by a colorful, central chinoiserie scene featuring Chinese figures carrying fans, a Chinese Fo dog, two phoenix birds, rock motifs, and a branch of plum blossoms, set on a terraced base with a triangular fence. Decorated with a gilt dentil rim, the smooth lip with four gold-framed and etched quatrefoil cartouches with Höroldt Chinese figures between gold-scaled corner motifs. Underglaze blue sword mark, gold mark H.
Ø 27.7 cm.
Heavily repaired.
Provenance:
The central scene corresponds to comparable chinoiserie scenes attributed to J. E. Stadler or his circle.
A magnificent cylindrical tankard from the Metropolitan Museum demonstrates Stadler's high level of craftsmanship and depicts comparable figures—there in a more refined execution (Metropolitan Museum New York, Inv. No. 54.147.81).
For a plate with a similar decorative design, see Christie's, June 28, 1976, lot 184. There is a reference to other related examples from the Klemperer Collection (Schnorr von Carolsfeld 1928, Nos. 77 and 78).
A distinctive feature of his decorative style, the terrain base with a black triangular fence, can be found in a similar form on the lantern signed by Stadler in the Dresden State Art Collections (Inv. No. PE 1522).
In older literature, this striking decorative element in the terrain painting (R. Wark, KFS 50, 1960, p. 33) was associated with a painter from F. A. Löwenfincks' circle. R. Seyffarth also took up this line of evidence and linked it to an artist with the signature “C J L” on a cup from the Grassimuseum in Leipzig (Seyffarth, KFS 51/1960, plate X); likewise M. Newman (Die deutschen Porzellan Manufakturen, 1977, Vol. I, pp. 19 and 22).
