Provenance:
The Thomas Dormandy Collection of European Faience
Another tureen and stand of the same shape is in the Axel Springer Collection in the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Landesmuseum, Schleswig, illustrated in H. Lungagnini, Fayence des Ostseeraumes - Sammlung Axel Springer (1998), colour plate 58, no. 30. Another example of the same tureen model with very similar decoration to the present lot, but with a different stand, is illustrated in A.
