Description

Gold mounting probably Dresden, around 1750

The large porcelain tobacco tin is exquisitely painted on all sides with scenes of families enjoying the attractions presented by market traders. On the lid, children look into a peep-box, on the inside a poster hung on a tree is explained to them with pictures, and on the bottom is a scene with a rat catcher. The designs for the illustrations were created by the Dresden court painter Christian Wilhelm Dietricy. The scenes are framed in pink-colored, relief rocailles.

Height: 4 cm, width: 8.7 cm, depth: 6.8 cm
