Pair of Helena Wolfsohn Ginger Jars
ca. 1880-1881, German, in the Meissen taste, decorated with alternating panels of Watteau-style figures in landscapes and floral panels on a robin's-egg blue ground, framed in gilt scrollwork, the bases with spurious "Augustus Rex" underglaze blue marks.
h. 14", dia. 6-1/2"
Provenance: Estate of Edward "Ted" L'Engle Baker and Ann McDonald Baker, Jacksonville, Florida.
Estimate $1,000-1,500
Generally good condition.
Decorated in a rich, vivid palette.
ONE: With remnants of an old paper staicker at the gilded shoulder. A slightly rough area at the shoulder above a floral reserve, probably a firing anomaly.
OTHER: One figural reserve with parallel vertical scratches (approx. 3") down the sleeve through the pink skirt of the seated figure and ending in an "X" scratch at the ground.
Sold for $1,000
