A Meissen porcelain tea bowl with hunting dog motifs

Decorated with a finely painted scene of dogs in a wooded landscape in a gilt scrollwork cartouche on the front and with tendrils and trelliswork on the reverse. Unmarked. H 4.2, D 7.5 cm.
The porcelain ca. 1720, the decoration Augsburg, attributed to Anna Elisabeth Wald or Sabina Hosennestel, ca. 1730.

Sabina Auffenwerth (1706 - 1782) and Anna Elisabeth Wald were both daughters of the Augsburg goldsmith and porcelain painter Johann Auffenwerth (1659 - 1728). They began painting on porcelain in enamels in their father's workshop at an early age. Sabina Auffenwerth married the engraver and publisher Issak Heinrich Hosennestel in 1731 and continued to work in her chosen profession even after marriage. These finely painted animal motifs are usually attributed to one of the two Auffenwerth sisters.
