Tureen and saucer

The shell motifs on the handles and feet, as well as the little boy on the lid of this tureen, derive directly from a model that had been developed at the Meissen porcelain factory in the 1730s. Modeller Christiaan Gottlob Berger, who had trained in Meissen, brought the model with him to Weesp in 1759, when he was hired there.
