18th Century Nymphenburg Porcelain Mythological Scenes Sugar Bowl Antique German

Description: An 18th century German Nymphenburg porcelain sucrier or sugar bowl, decorated with mythological scenes. This is a fine, rare, museum quality piece of early porcelain. I found this sugar bowl form, identified as Nymphenburg and unmarked in the Gardiner Museum, here's a link to it: https://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/1744/sugar-bowl-with-flowers-on-a-yellow-ground?ctx=2938fdc76646b9d78af654c8700dc16d6dd11221&idx=31 and I also found a Nymphenburg cup and saucer, and a waste bowl, with very similar decoration attributed to Cajetan Purtscher, which would date this sucrier between 1760 and 1770. The only mark is an incised "A9" on the bottom of the bowl. There is an old label inside referencing a Nymphenburg book that I don't own. The first scene is Jupiter (disguised as a satyr) with Antiope, with Cupid in the scene too. The eagle confirms that the satyr is Jupiter. I don't know the characters in the second scene. The sucrier is just under 4 inches (10cm) tall and is approximately 4 inches (10cm) diameter. It is in overall excellent condition for its age with just some light scratches and gold wear, and the rim of the bowl has a small chip that was previously touched up (the tip of the pen is pointing to it), the foot ring on the bottom has some dark spots, and a few pinpoint nibbles and/or scratches, and there is a tiny pinpoint nick to the rim of the cover (the tip of the pen is pointing to this too). Please see the photos for details. Thank you for looking! b1 Track Page Views With Auctiva's Counter
