Footnotes

See footnote to lot 98. According to Johanna Lessmann, the plates and dishes from the dessert service, otherwise identical to those of the dinner service, were painted with a purple 'C.' indicating that they were intended for the 'Conditorey' or pantry (Das "Brühlsche Allerlei" Ein Service für Heinrich Graf von Brühl, in U.Pietsch (ed.), Schwanenservice (2000), p. 107).
