A MEISSEN 'CRIS DE ST PETERSBOURG' SERIES FIGURE OF A DRINKS SELLER, MID 18TH CENTURY probably modelled by Peter Reinicke (1715-1768) as a bearded man holding a tray of vessels on his head in one hand and carrying a black jug in the other, wearing a pale brown coat and burnt orange trousers, underglaze blue crossed swords mark to rear base 15.5cm high, some restoration The St Petersburg series is supposed to be based on figures after Jean Baptiste Le Prince (1733-1781), who travelled to Russian in 1758, returning to Paris in 1763 with a large number of drawings of Russian subjects. Len and Yvonne Adams in 'Meissen Portrait Figures', London, 1987, p.138, suggest that the vendor is hawking 'Sbiten', a honey drink more popular than tea and coffee at the period. Provenance: Figures from the Barlow Collection, the collection started by Sir Thomas Dalmahoy Barlow, GBE (1883-1964), banker and industrialist, also known as an art collector and historian; added to by his son Basil Stephen Barlow (1918-1991); thence by family descent.
