Modeller:
Kändler, Johann Joachim
Hard-past porcelain painted in blue, green, yellow, cream, flesh pink, red, brown, and black enamels, with a little gilding. The vineyard proprietor is seated on an irregular white rock, on a low white oval base, encrusted with coloured flowers and foliage. His left leg is drawn back, and between his knee rests a cream coloured wicker basket of inverted ball shape, the point supported by a smaller rock. The wicker lid is open, and with his right hand he points to a large bunch of blue grapes, hanging with one leaf from the top of the lid. In addition, there is a removable perforated cover which fits over the basket. In his left hand he holds a stout stick, which rests on the ground close to his left foot. He wears a wide black hat; a long dark brown coat with gold buttons and white lining, slit up the back and open at the front to show his white shirt; white breeches; white stockings, and black shoes.
