painted in sepia monochrome, perhaps in Augsburg, with hunting subjects, the bowl with two studies of hunting dogs, the saucer with a dead stag, on elaborate gilt dotted brackets within lambrequin and dot borders,

With Caviglia, Maroggia

Tiny chip on rim of saucer re-gilt; saucer gilt bracket rubbed; minor losses to burnished gilding on rims. The teabowl is marked with a blue crossed swords which may suggest a slightly later production to the saucer.
