The parade costumes of the various ranks of Saxon miners were recorded in a set of drawings by H.C. Fehling which were engraved by Christoph Weigel and published at Nuremburg in 1721 with the title 'Abbildung und Beschreibung derer sämtlichen Bergwerks Beamten und Bedienten nach ihrem gewöhnlichen Rang und Ordnung in behörigen Berg-Habit' (Illustration and description of the costumes of all the mine officers and employees according to their customary rank and class).They commemorated the participation of the miners in the festivities which took place in Dresden in 1719 to celebrate the marriage of Prince Frederick Augustus to the Princess Maria Josepha von Habsburg. However, this model (no. 1340) does not conform closely to the pose of 'Der Berghauptman'
About 1748-50 Kaendler modelled a set of eight figures of which seven were inspired by Weigel’s prints. The exact date is not known because the factory records of the modellers’ work are missing between 1748 and 1764. In this set the figures are standing, on a square mound base strewn with flowers, and not shown working as some later figures of miners were. They wear either white uniforms which were worn for work and for going to church on Sunday or their black parade dress.referenceterm-106451adlib-term-1064519cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad0863118th Century, Midreferenceterm-110409adlib-term-1104092040047c-eefc-3538-8b3d-60185614825bliteralGermanyGermanycountryliteralSaxonySaxonyregionMeissenreferenceterm-37627adlib-term-37627254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7hard-paste porcelainHeightcm21Widthcm9.5referenceterm-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurehistory notePurchased by the 2nd Lord Fisher of Kilverstone from Willy Lissauer, Berlin, May 5, 1933 for £401referenceobject-140285adlib-object-1402855e91af95-86ad-3ed7-91b0-2898edcccb441reference1term-110220adlib-term-110220e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942figure groupfigure group1referenceobject-131048adlib-object-131048a7fb8bb7-ad45-3187-8cf0-694c7da0a7971reference1term-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurefigure1referenceobject-140273adlib-object-140273b7290873-535c-3546-af70-dd5670f3aca21reference1term-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurefigure1referenceobject-140272adlib-object-140272956d75ec-d782-30ea-9f7e-05ef54ac99911reference1term-110220adlib-term-110220e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942figure groupfigure group1referenceobject-140271adlib-object-140271965deeb6-3f32-3f74-b3ba-b58e13ccc0911reference1term-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurefigure1referenceobject-131045adlib-object-131045cab2b909-884c-36bd-9c8c-90a5aa5d3ea01reference1term-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurefigurereferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam Museumreferencepublication-4921adlib-publication-4921e5683ff8-7ba5-39b5-a137-e248897a3742Festive Publication to Commemorate the 200th Jubilee of the Oldest European China Factory, Meissenreferencepublication-6643adlib-publication-66430d6279c0-55cd-3582-9bee-cde4c61ad78cCatalogue of Fine Continental PorcelainCf. no. 896, pl. 219, a different version not holding his hat in left hand.172referencepublication-2685adlib-publication-268578931290-a594-3d1e-a3e9-fe40247e4e87Meissener Porzellan 1710-1810, Ausstellung im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum Münchenreferencepublication-6644adlib-publication-6644a2495437-b6fe-3c48-af9a-a281310d7e3cCatalogue of Continental Pottery and POrcelainreferencepublication-5162adlib-publication-516210e5dc25-eca8-3af3-8572-18fa6ada83d6Fine Continental Pottery and Porcelain and Turkish PotteryCf. pp. 55-855-8referencepublication-6641adlib-publication-6641f324c16c-9a4c-30d6-8704-639d0b1da010Keramik-Freunde der Schweizreferencepublication-6642adlib-publication-664240551243-12a8-3d87-92de-5fb438d7f123Kostbar wie Gold: Porzellan und Glas im Deutschen Bergbau-MuseumCf. pp. 54-7, lots 156-15954-7referencepublication-2645adlib-publication-2645b1b69b1c-707f-3c05-a267-31713b4eb4c0British and Continental CeramicsCf. p. 37 lot 28837referencepublication-5156adlib-publication-51562134abf2-62d0-3575-a41a-d60b3a06933fFine Early and Later European CeramicsRef. and cf. p. 211, pl. 13 the print of Der Berghauptmann in ceremonial dress, and pl. 12, an example, almost identical to this one.203-22referencepublication-200002413adlib-publication-200002413240cf479-b48e-340d-8165-987e0869a17dBetrachtungen zur Folge der Bergmannsfiguren von J.J.
