History

Kauffahrtei scenes of merchants and their wares by a quayside is not unusual in this period of Meissen’s production. But the addition of monuments and buildings to the background, providing a more topographical feel, and the cover decorated with similar scenes in miniature, certainly makes this piece more interesting.
