Literature Carl Christian Dauterman,? The Wrightsman Collection, New York 1970, Volume IV, p. 57, no. 22 A, B Provenance Sotheby's London, 10 April, 1951, lot 101 Acquired by Beran (£480) Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, New York Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sotheby's New York, 25 April, 1998, lot 66 ($68,500) Notes Parrots were a symbol of the exotic par excellence and K?ndler's models were among the factory's most frequently produced bird figures. Parrots were modelled in different sizes: soon after the life-size parrots for the Japanese Palace, K?ndler created, in July 1735, two small parrots (12cm tall). Then, in spite of no further mention in his records, the following pieces are noted in the Dresden stockroom listing of porcelain for Count von Brühl dated July 13, 1737: '1 Pappagey gro? / 3 ditto mittle. / 1 D. keiner'?[1 parrot large / 1 ditto medium / 1 ditto small] (Gerhard R?bbig, Cabinet Pieces: The Meissen Porcelain Birds of Johann Joachim K?ndler, Munich 2008, p. 128.) In May-October 1740, K?ndler modelled new figures of parrots to match the ones already in the warehouse, 'in considerable size', i.e. 19cm: '1:?Einen Pappagoy in Thon pou?iret gro?e Sorte Vor Mons.?Huiet. Da? solcher gegen den ehemals Von mir gefertigeten Pappagoy siehet.',?[Modelled a large parrot in clay for Mons. Huet (Jean-Charles Huet,?marchand-mercier). That this one is looking against the former model completed by me.] '3:?Zwey Pappagoyen Von Ziemlicher Gr??e auf einem gro?en Ast sietzend in Thon Pou?iret Vor Mons. Huiet. Zwar da? solche gegen einander sehen.',?[3: modelled in clay two parrots of suitable size, seated on a big branch for Mons. Huet. Namely, they are facing each other.] '2.?Zwey Pappagoyen Von Ziemlicher Gr??e aufs Waaren Laager in Thon pou?iret und Sauberes Belege Zu de?en postamente gefertiget. Von zweyerley Arth.',?[2: modelled in clay two parrots of suitable size for the warehouse and completed clean supports for their pedestals. Of two types.] The lack of description seems to indicate that these birds were a generic type of parrot modelled by K?ndler, as opposed to the Indian parrots or cockatoos modelled after life. A pair of parrots mounted with French Transitional Louis XV/XVI gilt-bronze candelabra, formerly in the collection of Henry Ford II, was sold at Sotheby’s London, A Mansion – A Private Collection, 28 April, 2015, lot 78 (£93,750). Four pairs of these models, painted in varying enamels to depict different species, from the Collection of Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie were sold at Sotheby’s London, 1 May, 2013, lots 80-83. A particularly close pair with same scale-painting on the head feathers was sold at Christie's Geneva, April 28, 1978, lot 153 Sotheby's Scientific Research department used noninvasive XRF for this lot to screen the green?enamel?for chromium, which was not detected.
