Provenance:
Anon. sale, Lempertz Cologne, 18 November 2016, lot 954;
The Property of a North American Private Collector
A specification of a delivery of the service delivered to the Japanese Palace, dated 8 February 1738 and signed by Höroldt, includes '6 Stück Credenz Teller' (published by G. Reinheckel, Meissener Prunkservice (1989), n. 102, p. 197-198). Two such footed stands were among the pieces that remained with the Sulkowski family until sold at Sotheby's London, 23 May 1967, lots 43 and 44 (possibly the present lot).
