A CONTINENTAL FAIENCE TUREEN AND COVER MODELLED AS A TURKEY CIRCA 1760, ALMOST CERTAINLY SCEAUX Naturalistically modelled, with very finely painted plumage, standing on a grassy mound base 20 ? in. (52 cm.) long; 14 ? in. (37 cm.) high
Although tureens of this type have been attributed to Marseille, there are tureens of very similar form which bear factory marks for Sceaux and H?chst. The construction of the base of the present lot matches tureens marked as Sceaux. A Sceaux pheasant tureen (with a fleur-de-lys mark) with a lower body, tail, legs and base very similar to the present lot was sold in these Rooms on 17 April 2000, lot 74. A Sceaux cockerel tureen of similar type (also marked) now in the Winterthur Museum, Delaware, is illustrated by Carl Dauterman and John Austen, Selections from the Campbell Museum Collection, 1983, no. 69. A similar tureen (with a H?chst wheel mark), was sold from the d'Heli de Talleyrand Duc de Talleyrand Collection by Christie’s Paris on 26 November 2005, lot 114, and a similar (unmarked) turkey tureen was sold by Sotheby's on 2 March 1993, lot 237, where it was attributed to Marseille.
