This stunning piece of hand-painted porcelain was designed by Johann Joachim Kaendler in 1770 and is a beautiful example of why the artist is considered the father of European porcelain modeling. To commemorate Kaendler's birth, last year Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen of Germany issued a select number of his works as part of their Kaendler Edition 2006. The Lobster Box features a gold signet with the artist's initials as well the Meissen Crossed Swords on the bottom of the dish. The piece is 7" long and sells for
$6,200.
