Pair of Bottles after a Japanese Form

A pair of Meissen slightly lobed squat sake-bottles and stepped covers moulded with Frauenkopf masks. They were decorated at Augsburg in Schwarzlot. There is a pale Eisenrot that has Chinese men and women and a child with a lute. There is also a scroll painting and a bird lure seated beneath Silbermalerei pavilions with bird cornices. It is supported by symmetrical scrolling foliage and enclosing jesters' masks.
