Catalogue Note
The Weißdreher Johann Christian Deitrich (1698-1757) was active at the Meissen manufactory from 1731 to at least 1736 - see Rainer Rückert, Meissener Porzellan 1710-1810, p. 76. Another example of this wöchnerrinenterrine form is illustrated by Bernhard von Barsewisch, "Unterglasurblaue Malerei," in Keramos, 121/1988, ill.30.
