Extremely rare Meissen large dish, circa 1730-35, painted in a famille vert palette with three geese, flanked by flowering plants and stylised rock work in Kakiemon fashion with a further goose in flight overhead with three floral sprigs to the rim. Note: this pattern appears to be unrecorded in literature although the birds are based on a Kangxi dish in famille vert style in the Dresden Porcelain collection, while the palette is closer to Japanese Kakiemon porcelain. Provenance: The Busca Collection, Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como, acquired in the 18th and 19th century and thence by descent to the present owners, sold by Bonhams as part of the Busca Collection in May 2012, Lot 85.
