Description

A rare small Meissen tankard painted in a purple camieu with an intricate continuous battle scene against what appears to be the Turks, with a city backdrop and small cartouches of regimental scenes. Set within a complex design of several linking cartouches with small battle scenes and militia regalia and grotesque heads. These and the main scene are after many different print sources of Georg Philipp d. Ä Regundas. Contemporary silver-gilt lid.
