| Production | Acquired as 'probably German (Kiel)', partly by comparison with Strasbourg dishes C.578, C.579-1909, then considered possibly German. Reattributed to Strasbourg by comparison with a piece variously described a having the Paul Hannong and Joseph Hannong mark. The bowl is of the same class as C.579-1909 and similar to pieces illustrated in Dorothée Guillemé Brulon, Strasbourg & Niderviller - Sources et rayonnement, Histoire de la Faïence Francaise, Paris, 1999, p. 36-7, and Historiches Museum, Basel, Strassburger Keramik, 1986, cat. 116-17. These pieces have been associated with the painter Christian-Wilhelm Löwenfink and dated to c. 1748-54. For a Strasbourg bowl of this shape see Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, exhibition catalogue, 'Faïences Françaies, XVIe-XVIIIe siècles', 1980, cat. 450. |
