The porcelain Meissen, pre-1721, decor attributed to Sabina Hosennestel (née Auffenwerth)

The attribution of this type of decor to the Augsburg 'hausmaler' Sabina Auffenwerth (1706 - 1782), daughter of the Augsburg goldsmith and porcelain painter Johann Auffenwerth, married name Hosennestel, is based on Ulrich Pietsch's publication on the Marouf collection. This decor was much discussed following the publication of Pazaurek's standard work, including by Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky for the catalogue of the holdings in the Museum of Applied Arts in Cologne, where there is a teapot decorated in the same way (inv. no. E 2933 a, b).

Literature

Cf. the small tea bowl and saucer from the Marouf Collection (in Pietsch, Passion for Meissen. Collection Said and Roswitha Marouf, Stuttgart 2010, Cat. No. 62).
