Äußerst seltene Tabatiere in Trapezform
Porzellan. Trapezförmiger, glattkantiger Korpus mit leicht gewölbtem Scharnierdeckel. Allseitig von eisenroten Linien umrahmte Reserven mit Kauffahrteiszenen, architekturbestandene Hafenlandschaften mit Segelbooten, Kaufleuten und Arbeitern zwischen Ballen und Fässern sowie figürliche polychrome Malerei. Form-Entw. wohl Johann Joachim Kaendler. Innenwandvergoldung. Vergoldete Montierung mit leicht ausgezogenem Daumengriff. H. 2,5 cm. 6 cm x 4 cm.
Seltene Tabatiere mit ungewöhnlicher Form eines Trapezes. Eine Tabatiere mit geometrischer Grundform ist in Kaendlers Arbeitsberichten vom Januar 1741 verzeichnet. Dort heißt es folgendermaßen: "Eine Tabattiere in Gestalt eines Triangels, welche von Herrn Secretario Vithen bestellt worden, vor Frey Mayer.". Die Dreiecksform verweist auf die Verbindung des Besitzers zu einer Geheimgesellschaft, ist doch das Dreieck das Hauptsymbol der Freimaurer. Zum Teil zeigen die Dosen Szenen mit abgebildeten Freimaurern in entsprechender Kleidung bzw. charakteristische Symbolik. Zumeist bestechen sie aber vor allem durch unverfängliche Szenen, die keine Hinweise auf die Freimaurerei geben.
