Estimate value
€ 90 000 – 180 000
Paar Meissen Schneeballenvasen. Balusterförmiger Korpus mit haubenförmigem Deckel, bekrönt von Blattwerk und vollplastischen Kanarienvögeln. Umlaufend flächendeckender, dichter Fond aus kleinen, aufbossierten, weißen, in Gelb und Purpur akzentuierten Blüten, umzogen von reliefplastischen, sich verzweigenden Weinlaubranken mit zahlreichen, großen Blütendolden, sog. Schneeballenkugeln. Auf der Wandung großer, sitzender farbenprächtiger Papagei sowie vereinzelte Insekten. Polychrome Malerei. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler. Partiell rest.; Schwertermarke. H. 49 cm - 65 cm.
Inspiriert von ostasiatischen Dekoren begann J. J. Kaendler 1739 erstmals, die Oberflächen von Porzellanen allseitig mit plastischen Blüten zu belegen, anstatt wie zuvor partiell zu bossieren, war das eine künstlerische Sensation sowie technische Meisterleistung. Diese äußerst kostspieligen Vasen avancierten schnell zu begehrten Kabinettstücken höfischer Dekoration. So modellierte Kaendler 1741/42 eine Folge von Vasen für Ludwig XV. von Frankreich; Friedrich der Große bestellte 1745 sechs Deckelvasen sowie ab 1762 zahlreiche weitere Vasen für die Ausstattung des Neuen Palais in Potsdam. Derartige Schneeballenvasen waren begehrte Kabinettstücke und wurden auf Konsolen und Kamingesimsen bzw. zwischen Wandpaneelen aufgestellt.
