LOT 22 Miniature vases - Royal Court Confectionery. Meissen, circa 1739. H. 6.5 cm. Baluster vases with yellow lion decoration. Underglazed blue sword mark, in purple "K.H.C." Inside in floor min. fire crack. The service with the decoration of the Yellow Lion was part of the two court services in Dresden and Warsaw, the seat of August III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. Porcelains with this decoration were part of a big delivery, which the director of the manufactory Graf von Hoym let copy between 1729 and 1730 by order of the French porcelain dealer Lemaire after Japanese originals from the Japanese palace in Dresden, with the aim to sell the Meissener copies as Japanese porcelain profitably. The fraudulent trade was discovered and in 1731 thousands of these porcelains, including pieces with this decoration, were confiscated and returned to the Japanese Palace. Repeat orders were placed in the period around 1739/40, when pieces were selected for the Warsaw Court Confectionery.
