Cataloguing Practice
PLEASE NOTETHAT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE ANDTHAT ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOTTO SCALE.Weights may only be

It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and the international
jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods. Although heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, in some cases this
could affect the durability of a gemstone. Oiled gemstones may need re-oiling after a certain period. If no gemmological report is
published in the catalogue, prospective buyers should be aware that the gemstones or pearls could have been enhanced by some method.
Condition: not normally recorded and all lots sold as viewed. Obvious faults may be recorded in italics at the end of a description for ceramics.

A MEISSEN MINIATURE FIGURE OF A FRIESIAN SAILOR,
CIRCA 1755
probably modelled by J.J. Kändler or J.F. Eberlein, the
mustachioed figure with arms akimbo and wearing a grey knitted
conical hat, pink doublet, pale green full breeches and black
shoes, on a shaped circular flower encrusted naturalistic base,
underglaze blue crossed swords mark to rear base
8.4cm high
This apparently unrecorded figure seems likely to be from the
Meissen series of ‘Nations of the Levant’, modelled by J.J.
Kaendler and J.F. Eberlein between 1748 and 1760, after prints
taken from Le Hay and Ferriol’s Receuil de Cent Estampes
representant Differentes Nations du Levant, published in 1712-13.
Confusingly this series includes non-Levantine Bulgarian and
Hungarian figures, so may have included a sailor from Friesland.
See the British Museum No. 1871,1209.2663 for a print of a
‘Matelot de Frise’, after Bernard Picart (Le Romain; 1673-1733),
Amsterdam, 1728. Variant costume plates of this mustachioed
Friesian sailor figure, but always in the same akimbo pose, were
widely circulated in Europe right through the 18th century.

A NAPLES SAUCEBOAT STAND FROMTHE HERCULANEUM
SERVICE (SERVIZIO ERCOLANESE), REAL FABBRICA
FERDINANDEA, 1781/82
oval, painted either by Giacomo Milano or Antonio Cioffi with a
scene of a winged putto grasping a goat by the horns in a
landscape, the foliate guilloche moulded border interrupted by
four gilt-tooled vignettes of birds, a duck and a swan, gilt line rims,
reverse titled in red MUS. ERCOL. / SERIE DI PITT. / FANCIULLO,
CHE LOTTA / CON UN CAPRONE. above crowned FRF mark
19.6cm long
Provenance:The collection of Robin Wigington (1932-2002).
The Herculaneum Service was commissioned by Ferdinand IV of
Naples and delivered to Madrid in the autumn of 1782 as a gift to
his father, Charles III of Spain. King Ferdinand’s newly promoted
director at the royal porcelain factory, Domenico Venuti, created for
this commission an innovative service, departing from previous
rather derivative models heavily inspired by Sèvres, taking instead
design inspiration from the frescos and other antiquities which
were being excavated all around the bay of Naples. Venuti was
personally connected with the discoveries from antiquity, as his
father, Marcello Venuti, had been director of the archaeological
projects since 1740, responsible for the excavations and for many
of the influential volumes of ‘Le Antichità di Ercolano esposte’
published between 1757-1798.
The Herculaneum service comprised seventy-one pieces in total,
plus some serving cutlery, each piece painted by the head
decorator Milani and his colleague, Cioffi. It included two
sauceboats and this present dish can be identified as the stand for
one of them: the pair to this stand was sold Bonhams, London, 8
December 2010, lot 146, painted with an opposing scene of a putto
grasping a deer by its horns.These two stands and a plate in an
Italian private collection appear to take their design directly from
the fresco vignettes of cupids hunting or struggling with animals,
originally found in the cryptoporticus of the House of the Deer in
Herculaneum (see accompanying illustration, which relates
directly to the plate illustrated in Le porcellane dei Borboni di
Napoli....., ed. A. Caròla-Perrotti, p.333).
It is not known how this famous and rare service came to be
broken up; other known surviving pieces include a plate at the
Victoria and Albert Museum, four pieces in the Museo Duca di
Martina in Naples and two bottle coolers in Italian private
collections, as well as four pieces sold by Sotheby’s and Christie’s
at auctions in London, and a group of three pieces from the Barilla
collection, sold Sotheby’s, London, 14 March 2012, lots 228/233/234.
For an account of the service’s journey to Spain, as well as more
on the artists who worked on it, see the document published at
the end of the nineteenth century by the historian Camillo Minieri
Riccio and reproduced by A. Caròla-Perrotti, La Porcellana della
Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, 1978, note 20, pp.56-57; also see: Le
porcellane dei Borboni di Napoli, Capodimonte e Real Fabbrica
Ferdinandea, Naples, 1986, pp.327-341, ed. A. Caròla-Perrotti.

would originally have formed part of a stele, as it is uncarved at
the back. With its wide rounded face and distinctive eyes, it recalls
the head of a Vishnu figure in the Norton Simon Museum: see
