PLATE OF THE “EARL OF JERSEY-SERVICE” TYPE
Meissen, ca. 1740, painted after a model by A. F. Löwenfinck.
Plate with the “Alter Ausschnitt” shape with a brown rim line. Painted in the characteristic color palette, with a Chinese fisherman and a boy in a wide, Chinese river landscape with a rocky coastline featuring pagodas with flying insects and birds, and fading ships in the distance. Blossoms and bunches of Indian flowers on the lip. Underglaze blue sword mark, press number 16.
Ø 23.5 cm.
Provenance:
Private collection, Lugano.
50 of the early pieces attributed to the so-called “Earl of Jersey Service” are for the most part in the Earl of Jersey's Osterley Park, now part of the English National Trust.
Those early examples, plates attributed to the hand of Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck, all bear no press numbers but a potter's mark, which were only in use in Meissen until 1737/38 and were then replaced by an impressed number from 1738/39 onwards, representing the respective turner or molder of the porcelain object. Meissen porcelain with an impressed mark must be dated after 1738, when Löwenfinck had already died (1736). The painting on this plate is therefore not by his hand. For a comprehensive summary of Löwenfinck decorations, see Langeloh Porcelain 2019, pp. 190-210 and pp. 614-617.
