About this work
This pair of stands, probably intended for small tureens, is decorated in polychrome enamels with insects, sprigs of flowers and floral garlands tied with blue ribbons, executed in a naturalistic style derived from botanical woodcuts.The centre of the well of one stand is painted with a mountain goat eating foliage, the well of the other stand with a camelid, probably a llama. These stands are very closely related to the so-called Hanbury-Williams service produced at the Meissen factory between 1748 and 1750, and gifted by Augustus III to Sir Charles Hanbury-Williams, British Envoy to the Saxon Court.
