EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Meissen portrait pipe-bowl depicting the court jester Frohlich, created around 1742. Crafted from delicate porcelain by the skilled hands of German School artists in the 18th century, this exquisite piece now resides in a private collection. Modelled by J. J. Kandler, this pipe-bowl captures the essence of Frohlich's whimsical character and serves as a testament to the artistry of its named designer. The image portrays a single object against a grey background, emphasizing its intricate details and historic significance. The bowl itself is adorned with intricate designs and features an expertly crafted likeness of Frohlich's head as its centerpiece. As one gazes upon this unique ceramic creation, it transports them back to an era when jesters entertained royalty within European courts. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the cultural importance of such objects in history. It reminds us that even everyday items like pipes were once considered works of applied art and symbols of status or entertainment. Through this studio shot captured by eChristies Images, we are granted a glimpse into olden times when clowns like Frohlich brought joy and laughter to royal households across Germany and Saxony. This portrait pipe-bowl stands as both a tribute to his legacy and an enduring reminder of our fascination with historical artifacts that continue to captivate our imagination today.
