Provenance:
Catalina von Pannwitz Collection, 'De Hartekamp', Heemstede, The Netherlands
Count Brühl owned an extensive service decorated with the 'Three Friends of Winter' (known as the 'Service mit dem Aste [service with the branch]), which is listed in both the 1753 inventory of the Conditorei at Schloss Pförten, as well as in the posthumous inventory of the Brühl palace in Dresden (see J. Weber, Meißener Porzellane mit Dekoren nach ostasitischen Vorbildern, II (2013), pp. 237-239). Sixty pieces were sold by the Soviet Union at Rudolph Lepke's Kunst-Auctions-Haus, Berlin, 21-22 October 1930, lot 193.
