Sophie von der Goltz Specialist The Heinrich Rothberger Collection
Heinrich Rothberger (1868-1953) was part of the great pre-War generation of cultured, knowledgeable and wealthy central European collectors that flourished between the end of the 19th century and the rise to power of the Nazis. Berlin and Vienna were the centres of this golden age, during which the best collections were formed with great knowledge and refined taste, rather than just an excess of wealth i .
i This introduction is based on the comprehensive and fascinating history of pre-War collecting in Vienna, the Rothberger family, their collections, and their fate before, during and after WWII published by Christina Gschiel, Ulrike Nimeth and Leonhard Wiedinger, schneidern und sammeln Die Wiener Familie Rothberger, Schriftenreihe der Kommission für Provenienzforschung 2 (2010).

The Rothberger Family
Heinrich was born into a prosperous mercantile family in fin-de-siècle The largely secular Rothberger family was rapidly assimilated into Vienna: a city that was both the centre of the traditions of the old Em- the Viennese upper-class and, in a reflection of this status, Jacob pire, as well of the intellectual and artistic avant-garde.

His sons thrived himself as a tailor. The city of Vienna grew rapidly in the second half of in this flourishing intellectual and business climate: Moritz (1865- the 19th century and Jacob Rothberger prospered to the extent that, 1944), Heinrich and Alfred (1873-1932) entered the family business, in 1861, he was able to move his business to one of the city’s most while Carl Julius (1871-1945) pursued a highly successful career in prestigious and central addresses: the Stephansplatz, directly opposite medicine, becoming a world-renowned pathologist and, from 1912, St. Stephan’s cathedral. Rothberger introduced the practice whereby Professor at the University of Vienna. In addition to their business customers could trade in their old clothes in return for a discount on careers, Moritz and Alfred were talented artists (the former was also purchases, as well as prêt-à-porter, and his business was continued a distinguished collector of both contemporary art and pre-historic to prosper. By the mid-1890s, the Rothberger department store had and antique objects) and Carl Julius a keen amateur photographer. expanded across three buildings facing the cathedral. Members of the family and their business had occasionally been the subject of anti-semitic hostility, which became more overt during the 1930s. Carl Julius, for example, was passed over for the position of Director of the Institute of Pathology and in 1936 was forced into early retirement. Following the ‘Anschluss’ on 13 March 1938 the Rothberger family, along with all those defined by the Nazis as Jewish,

Heinrich Rothberger’s Collection

12 | BONHAMS “As a child I often visited my Aunt Ella when she invited me to the apartment on the Stephansplatz. I remember the vitrines filled with porcelain; looking was permitted, but not touching, of course. Uncle Heinrich was busy with the business during the day. I only know that he made trips to France and England in connection with porcelain and had lots of contacts in that world.”

FINE EUROPEAN CERAMICS | 21 Two similarly-decorated Du Paquier hunting services - each including two different border patterns - are recorded: the first was originally owned by the Imperial family and was presented by the Empress Maria Theresia to the Benedictine abbey of Sankt Blasien in 1773; the second belonged to the Princes of Liechtenstein. The Sankt Blasien service was moved in the Napoleonic period to another Benedictine abbey in Austria, from where the surviving 54 pieces were sold to the Staatliche Kunstgewerbemuseum (now Museum für angewandte Kunst) in Vienna in 1925 (M. Chilton/C. Lehner-Jobst, Fired by Passion (2009), cat. no. 227).
According to a 1748 inventory of the silver chamber of the Liechtenstein Schloss Feldsberg in southern Moravia, the “black hunting service” comprised 126 pieces: 80 plates, 8 round and 6 oval tureens, 4 sauce boats, 13 small plates, and 7 eight-cornered and 8 oval dishes in two to three sizes. Of these, 24 pieces have survived in the possession of the Prince of Liechtenstein (Chilton/Lehner-Jobst, cat. no. 228). The Liechtenstein archives reveal that less than a tenth of the wares purchased by the Princes from the Du Paquier manufactory has survived in the family’s possession (K. Hantschmann, The Art of Dining, in Chilton/Lehner-Jobst, vol. 2, p. 835).

Provenance: The Property of a Spanish Noble Family
The De Paauw factory was founded in 1651 in the east of the city of Delft. Marion van Aken-Fehmers in her seminal book Delfts Aardewerk, geschiedenis van een nationaal product (2001) describes the history of the factory in detail. The success of the factory can be measured at least in part by the rapid succession of owners. From 1701, the Kam family took ownership of the factory and under the leadership of father and son Gerrit and David Kam, the factory flourished. Like many Dutch delft potters, the Paauw factory produced sought- after blue and white objects designed after Chinese blue and white example. Another lucrative branch of the production of the Paauw factory were pieces decorated in berettino with a blue ground-colour picked out in lighter decorative schemes of flowers much in the style of Nevers production. The ambitious Paauw factory was responsible for several technical developments in the production of Dutch Delftware, which also included experiments with polychrome colours in grand feu, which were very hard to manage. In this vase, we can see blue, green and yellow tones, and traces of the cold-decorated red 35 too. From an inventory of the factory and house contents from 1725 and documented minutely by Van Aken-Fehmers (op. cit. pp.160-163), it becomes clear that in the living room on a large cabinet, there was a large Kaststel or garniture of vases. It is tempting to think this vase would have been one of that type. It is noted by Van Aken-Fehmers (op. cit. p.162) that the factory was producing eight-sided large garnitures. Examples of these kinds of polychrome wares are rare, and only a few vases with polychrome grand feu colours are known today, a fully marked garniture previously in the collection of Dr. F. H. Fentener van Vlissingen (1882-1962), is now with Aronson Antiquairs.

Similar models of parrots are in Schloss Favorite, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and formerly in the Pflüger Collection, New York; for a comprehensive discussion, see H. Reber, Die Kurmainzische Porzellan-Manufaktur Höchst: Fayencen (1986), figs. 18-32. The author notes that these models are derived from the large- scale porcelain models by J.J. Kaendler. Both Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck and Johann Gottfried Becker had worked at Meissen and would have been familiar with Kaendler’s models, so it is not surprising that animal models, and in particularly large models of parrots, seem to have been one of the preferred models in Höchst faience between 1750-53. According to Reber (pp. 50-51), it is unlikely that the technical feat of producing these models in porcelain was beyond the Höchst manufactory, so it is surprising that the models were not made in porcelain. Johannes Zeschinger was one of the most talented painters at Höchst, where he worked for around seven years between 1746 and 1753, when he moved to Fürstenberg.

According to the delivery specification of 15 March 1733 of porcelain and stoneware from the Dresden and Leipzig warehouses (the so-called ‘Böttgerische Credit Wesen’, ie. the administration of Böttger’s bankrupt estate), two “hohe Leuchter” [tall candlesticks] and six “niedrige Ditto” [small ditto] were among the “braunen unpolirten Porcelain” [brown unpolished porcelain] delivered from the Dresden warehouse, likely corresponding to nos. 205 and 206 in the 1770 Japanese Palace inventory; 206 lists ‘Sechs Stück niedrige Tisch-Leuchter, 6. Zoll hoch, No. 206’ [six low candlesticks, 6 zoll high...] (quoted by C. Boltz, Japanisches Palais-Inventar 1770 und Turmzimmer-Inventar 1769, in Keramos 153 (1996), p. 107, and p. 113 for the 1733 delivery specification). Of these six candlesticks, four remain in the Dresden porcelain collection (inv. nos. PE 839, 840, 1702 and 1703) and the other was also sold by Lepke’s in 1920 (lot 83).
The rare iron-grey surface colour, known as ‘Eisenporzellan [iron- porcelain], was achieved by over-heating the kiln and belongs to the experimental phase of stoneware production (Pietsch, p. 30). According to J.G.T. Graesse, writing in the third quarter of the 19th (detail of Japanese Palace inventory number) century, Eisenporzellan was never sold and was highly regarded by Augustus the Strong).

This form is described in an 18th-century inventory of Augustus the Strong’s collection as ‘Eßigkrug mit doppelten Hälsen’ [vinegar jug with double necks]; in China, such double-flasks were used in marriage rituals, with the bride and groom drinking from the same vessel, each with their own spout. It is possible that the Chinese example was made for the European market (J. Lessmann, Porzellan Glanzstücke der Sammlung des Museums für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (2006), p. 31).
This form is based on a Chinese Kangxi example that was acquired for Augustus the Strong after July 1725 and is still in the Dresden porcelain collection (inv. no. PO 2339, published in Meissener Blaumalerei aus drei Jahrhunderten, exhibition catalogue (1989), no. 3).

The figure with bow and quiver on the beaker is based on the figure of ‘Sumatra’ in a card game, jeu de la Géographie, that was commissioned from Stefano della Bella by Cardinal Mazarin for the young Louis XIV (see Bodinek, p. 56 and ill. 43). The female figure on the reverse seems to come from the same series and may be after ‘Arabie Troglodytique’.

Provenance: Private collection, Zürich (sold at Sothebys London, 15 April 1997, lot 128)
For a discussion of Ignaz Bottengruber, who was active as a Hausmaler between 1721 and at least 1728 in Breslau, and around 1730 in Vienna, see M. Cassidy-Geiger, The Porcelain Decoration of Ignaz Bottengruber, in Metropolitan Museum Journal 33 (1998), pp. 245-262, and fig. 35 for a very similar pair of flasks in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg (inv. no. 1927.271). The few surviving signed and dated examples of his work are all between 1726 and 1730. Several other examples of this bottle form decorated by Bottengruber are recorded, including a pair painted with military trophies (published by G. Pazaurek, Deutsche Fayence- und Porzellan- Hausmaler, I (1925), col. pl. 13 - then in the Georg Tillmann Collection, Hamburg); and a single example also with military trophies in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Cassidy- Geiger, fig. 17). Numerous bottles, including Baumölflaschchen are recorded in the weekly reports of the Meissen formers and turners around 1725; see C. Boltz, Die wöchentlichen Berichte über die Tätigkeit der Meissner Dreher und Former vom 6. Juni 1722 bis 31. Dezember 1728, in Keramos 178 (2002), p. 22 and p. 59. It is interesting that almost all the recorded examples of this form - another is in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (probably decorated by Sabina Aufenwerth) - are decorated by Hausmaler; the only recorded example with factory decoration of underglaze-blue scrollwork and polychrome chinoiserie figures in the style of J.E.

The Crown Princess of Saxony, the Habsburg princess Maria Josepha was particularly devoted to the Saint and the north-east chapel in the Hofkirche was later dedicated to him.

It is tempting to suppose that such a large and elaborate candelabra must invariably have been an important commission: either a gift from Frederick the Great as in the case of the dessert service for Catherine II, or intended for one of his own palaces. The relatively rare yellow ground raises the possibility that these candelabra were part of the so-called gelbes Tafelservice (yellow table service) which was ordered less than three months before the service for Catherine II. This service was ordered by Frederick the Great for the Potsdam Stadtschloss on 18 January 1770 and delivered on 3 August 1771. The service is described in the King’s Privy Purse accounts as a Tafel-Service vom antiquen Dessein, für 20 Couverts, für das Potsdamer Stadtschloss... gemahlt mit natürliche Blumen und Guirlanden Gold, Laubkänntgen, umzogene Zierathen, nebst gelben Fond (a table service of antique design, for 20 covers for the Potsdam Stadtschloss...painted with naturalistic flowers and gold garlands, foliate edges, surrounding ornamentation), published by Lenz (op. cit. Vol I, p.15). The accounts unfortunately do not list the individual pieces of the service.
The second possibility presented by the Privy Purse accounts is an entry recording a gift of Frederick the Great to the Princess of Orange delivered on 29 June 1773: 2 Tafel Leuchter extra gross, mit bronze Armen zu 5 Lichtern, Geschenk des Königs an die Prinzess von Oranien (2 table candelabra, extra large, with bronze arms of five lights, gift of the King to the Princess of Orange); quoted by Lenz, (loc. cit., p.22). Princess Wilhelmine of Orange (1751-1820) was the niece of Frederick the Great and one of his most frequent and favoured recipients of gifts of porcelain. He sent her a table service in October 1767 on the occasion of her wedding and a dessert service three years later. In 1773 the Princess visited the Berlin manufactory with her brother the Crown Prince of Prussia and was presented with numerous gifts; see ‘Von Sansoucci nach Europa’, p.88. The accounts do not described the candelabra in any more detail, though this is the only entry which explicitly mentions candelabra with ormolu branches.

Part of a lavish gift of Meissen porcelain presented to Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden in late May, 1734, by a Swedish colonel in the Saxon Swiss Guards, Count Axel Cronhielm, on behalf of Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. The gift, which consisted of several services and sets of decorative objects, is mostly still preserved in Swedish collections (see Ljungström, pp.257-273). Queen Ulrika Eleonora (1688-1741), the daughter of Charles XI, reigned in her own right for only a short time, from the death of her brother in November 1718 until February 1720, when she abdicated in favour of her husband, Friedrich, Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel (Frederik I of Sweden). The political and diplomatic purpose of Augustus III’s gifts to Queen Ulrika Eleonora and her husband, lay in his plans to succeed his father as King of Poland, although in a letter to the queen he himself claimed that the initiative for the gift was originally his father’s (see Ljungström for a comprehensive discussion).
The Meissen manufactory archives include a list dated 1st February 1733 of finished and unfinished porcelain for the gift to Sweden (‘Was vor Ihro Königl. Majestät in Schweden an Porcellain Geschirren bereits verferttiget und noch zu verferttigen ist..’), which indicates that the present tea and chocolate service for the Queen had already been finished: ‘2 Thee- und Chocolade-Servise, als: 1 fein emaillirtes mit Seefahrten, Landschaften und Wappen (ist verferttiget und geliefert)..’ (2 tea and chocolate services, as: 1 finely enamelled with sea journeys, landscapes and arms (is completed and delivered). An earlier report of August 1732 indicates that one tea service (as well as a small table service and two chimney garnitures) had already been completed (quoted by G. Reinheckel, Prachtvolle Service aus Meissner Porzellan (1989), p. 196, no. 66).
An undated document quoted by Rainer Rückert suggests that the gift to Sweden was ordered by Augustus the Strong personally during a visit to Meissen before mid January 1733 (R. Rückert, R. Rückert, Alchemistische Symbolzeichen..., in Keramos 151 (1996), p. 86).
The teapot, coffee pot, sugar bowl and cover, tea caddy and six teabowls and saucers, were given to Skokloster Castle in 1840 by Count Magnus Stenbock. They were probably inherited by his mother, Countess Lolotte Stenbock, from the estate of Princess Sofia Albertina of Sweden (1753-1829), whose Lady-in-Waiting she was (Ljungström 2007, loc. cit.). Two further beakers and saucers were sold in these rooms from the Hoffmeister Collection, 25 Nov 2009, lot 80, and 24 Nov 2010, lot 65. A waste bowl from the service was also in the Hoffmeister Collection and sold in these rooms, 26 May 2010, lot 69.

79 A PAIR OF MEISSEN DEEP DISHES FROM THE EMPRESS ELISABETH SERVICE, CIRCA 1741 Moulded with Gotzkowsky-Relief modelled by Johann Friedrich This suggestion is questioned, however, by a report by the Saxon Eberlein, a floral wreath in the well and four flower panels around the ambassador to Russia, Nicolaus Williband Baron von Gersdorf, who rim, painted in the centre with a bird perched on indianische Blumen, reported in the summer of 1744 that the Empress Elizabeth had and four European estuary and landscape scenes around the rim, told him that she did not believe that she has a complete service of each within a gilt border and blue scale-ground cartouche edged with [Meissen] porcelain (quoted by Liackhova, op.cit., p. 72).

£20,000 - 30,000 Another riddle associated with this service is that appears to have €22,000 - 33,000 been produced in two groups: the first, to which the present plate US$26,000 - 39,000 belongs, is decorated with indianische Blumen and has mainly harbour scenes around the rims; the second group, which appears to date Provenance: from around 1744-45, is painted with more naturalistic botanical flower Given by Augustus III, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, to studies and has Dutch-style landscapes and gallant scenes around the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna of Russia rim, among other smaller differences.
This service has been published in detail by Claus Boltz, and more Of the sixty-nine pieces from this service in the Hermitage in 1910, recently, Lydia Liackhova (in U. Pietsch (ed), Meissen for the Czars twenty-seven were apportioned in 1929 to ‘Gostorg’ - an organisation (2004), pp. 58ff.), but its history remains incomplete. Johann Friedrich founded after the revolution to dispose of art works from Russian Eberlein’s work records show that work began on the service at museums - for sale inside Russia; ten pieces were received by the the end of April 1741, at which time Russia was ruled by Anna company ‘Antiquariat’ in 1932 for sale outside of Russia; and in Leopoldovna, Princess of Mecklenburg, on behalf of her two-month October 1930, sixteen pieces, including seven plates, appeared old son, Emperor Ivan VI. The regent had a romance with the Saxon at auction in Berlin (Rudolph Lepke’s Kunst-Auctions-Haus, 21-22 envoy, Count zu Lynar, which may lend weight to the hypothesis that October 1930, lot 203) in a sale of property from the Hermitage.

Count Camillo Marcolini-Ferretti (1739-1814) was born in Fano, Italy, in 1739. The Prince Elector Frederick Christian met Camillo Marcolini’s father in Rome, and offered young Camillo a position as donze to the Saxon court. In Saxony, Camillo quickly rose in the ranks and ended as minister in the Royal cabinet in 1809 and in 1818 followed the King into exile.
Camillo Marcolini also became minister and general director of the Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Academy, as well as director of the Meissen porcelain manufactory from 1774 to 1813. The asterisk mark on Meissen porcelain, used during his directorship, is therefore know as a Marcolini mark.
In 1774 Marcolini expanded the historic Palais Brühl-Marcolini. Around 1780 the ‘chinesisches’ and ‘pompejanisches’ Zimmer [Chinese 159 and Pompeian rooms] took shape under the guidance of architects Ludwig Giesel and Christian Traugott Weinlig. This new taste for the neoclassical was also translated at the Meissen factory which under the guidance of Marcolini and with the help of Acier and Schönheit developed a new neoclassical aesthetic for the porcelain which stood in strong contrast to the rococo tradition of the past.
