Materials: hard paste porcelain
Artist: meissen manufactory
Artist role: manufactory
Artist nationality: german
Artist dates: 1710 – 9999
Subjects: birds,flowers

Porcelain birds have their origins in the princely tradition of maintaining collections of living animals and birds in menageries and aviaries, which were viewed as microcosms of the universe, and emblems of royal power and enlightenment. These collections often included exotic birds such as parrots, admired for their rarity, as well as more familiar native species. In 1731 the Meissen manufactory began a new genre in European porcelain, producing several hundred life-size and near-life-size porcelain birds and animals, many destined for the Japanese Palace of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony (1670–1733). To create them, factory modelers found inspiration in nature, looking both to living and stuffed specimens, as well as zoological illustrations and Asian porcelain precedents. The great Meissen modeler Johann Joachim Kändler is known to have copied from life the birds kept at the royal aviary at Schloss Moritzburg. Surviving prints and drawings of the period indicate that porcelain birds, animals, and vases were placed on gilt wood brackets arranged in decorative, symmetrical patterns. An eighteenth-century English visitor to the Japanese Palace, Jonas Hanway, described this manner of display: “The long gallery in the second story had already two marble chimney-pieces, each adorned with near 40 very large pieces of porcelain, of birds, beasts, and vases, ranged to the height of above 20 feet in a most superb taste….” [Elizabeth Sullivan, 2013]

Object type: tureen with cover
Date: 1755 – 1755
Materials: faience
Techniques: glazing
Subjects: chickens

Faience, or tin-glazed and enameled earthenware, first emerged in France during the sixteenth century, reaching widespread usage among elite patrons during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, prior to the establishment of soft-paste porcelain factories. Although characterized as more provincial in style than porcelain, French faience was used at the court of Louis XIV as part of elaborate meals and displays, with large-scale vessels incorporated into the Baroque garden designs of Versailles. Earlier examples of French faience attest to the strong influence of maiolica artists from Italy. Later works demonstrate the ways in which cities such as Nevers, Rouen, Lyon, Moustiers, and Marseille developed innovative vessel shapes and decorative motifs prized among collectors throughout Europe. While faience can be created from a wide mixture of clays, it is foremost distinguished by the milky opaque white color achieved by the addition of tin oxide to the glaze. French faience is typically divided into two types. Grand feu (high fire) describes pieces that have been decorated with glaze and metallic oxides before being fired a single time at a high temperature of around 1650°F (900°C). Petit feu (low-fire) faience, developed in the second half of the eighteenth century, refers to a process whereby the clay body is fired before being glazed and decorated with metallic oxides and then fired again at a lower temperature; pieces can also go through a third firing. Grand feu pieces have a more limited color palette that consists of blue, yellow, brown-purple, and green. By contrast, the lower firing temperature of petit feu faience enabled both greater precision in painting techniques and variety in the range of colors.

Rowel Spur (Left)
Object type: spur
Date: 1551 – 1600
Materials: copper, metal alloy
Culture: german
Location: germany

This impressive spur is part of a group of oversized and lavishly decorated German spurs made in the second half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century, probably in Saxony. This example displays a large and extravagant eight-pointed rowel, each of the points holding a small rowel itself. Some types of spurs with several rowels were used in the 17th century with particularly difficult horses. However, on this spur it seems to be more an ornamental luxurious feature, for a pair worn like a piece of jewelry, rather than a truly equestrian improvement. Such examples of multi-rowel spurs are known in Germany since the mid-16th century. The impracticality of these spurs indicate that they were probably only used during parade and festive events, as a display of wealth and status. The width of the branches suggests they were worn over large cavalry boots.

Thin silks painted with flowers, birds, and butterflies for dress lengths, fan leaves, and screen panels were the final phase of China’s ancient silk trade with the West. The soft ecru ground of this unusual example, suggesting some special kind of unbleached silk, enhances the pearly quality of the white lotus and clematis petals.
