The design was originally made for a competition for “a modern and inexpensive déjeuner (breakfast service) in both shape and decoration,” held by the Meissen management in 1896. Inspired by the crocus blossom - both in the vessel’s shape and in its high-temperature shades of color - Hentschel designed the déjeuner along the lines of the floral art nouveau. The design was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900; with more than 25 sets sold, it was considered a great success. Between 1902 and 1904, Hentschel expanded the breakfast service into a larger dinner and tea service. The Krokus-Déjeuner played a pioneering role in the field of utility porcelain in the art nouveau manner. The first example of the genre, it stimulated further experiments by other artists at Meissen.European Ceramicshttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/4942/rdfhttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/12712/fullTeabowl and saucer with landscapesca.1725-30[Meissen Porcelain Manufactory]Hard-paste porcelain, overglaze enamels, gildingSquat bowls of inverted bell-shape on cylindrical foot rings. The vertical profile of the foot ring on all four pieces is wedge-shaped (triangular going to the thinnest at the bottom). The shallow saucers have no well and an upward-curving rim resting on a cylindrical foot ring. All pieces are similar fine thin porcelain with scattered flaws. The second teabowl and both saucers with a fine, barely visible, diagonal slash made by a knife on the inside of the foot. The over-glaze enamel and gold decoration on the two teabowls is similar with the same lacy gold border inside the gilt lip of the teabowls and gilt rim of the saucers. Inside both teabowls, a bouquet of stylized “daisies” in iron red and purple with bright light green leaves, likely inspired by decoration on Japanese porcelain. On the sides of the teabowls, two scenic reserves and single large scenic reserve in the centre of each saucer. These are framed with an inner border of lacy gold C and S motifs and four reserves, top, bottom and both sides, which are shaped somewhat like a large rounded “3” fully filled in with the distinctive purple-gold lustre used at Meissen. The outer border framing the cartouches is an airy symmetrical arrangement of feathery motifs painted in iron red and a pale orange tone. Each teabowl can be associated with a saucer due to similar motifs. The first has reserves with European scenes painted in dark green, purple, blue, black with smeared blue clouds in the sky and scattered streaks of red along with flocks of minute birds. One reserve shows a lake surrounded by trees with distant hills. A rowboat is near the shore at the left foreground and black stumps/ fence posts in the immediate foreground. The reserve on the other side, painted in similar colours and style, shows a high hill with a castle with a pennant flying from its tower overlooking a river with what appears to be a large timber raft with figures floating in the foreground and again the black stumps. Noticeable chip out of the rim of this teabowl. Similarly painted oblong cartouche in the saucer showing a large reddish five-storey building to the left surrounded by trees, distant hills, and a river or lake across the foreground. In the immediate foreground, there is a grassy area with a standing man pointing towards the building, a seated man in a red jacket to his left who is fishing, and, further left, a man in a white shirt wading in the water and bending over to adjust something. Prominent stumps and bits of fence in the immediate foreground of the scene, painted in brown and black. The second teabowl and saucer have scenes that include Chinoiserie figures and details. The colour palette and style of painting are similar to the other teabowl and saucer. On the teabowl, one cartouche shows an expansive river or lake with tall craggy rocks on the far shore, a small sail boat in the foreground with a row boat with three figures taking off to its left, and a distant fortress with five towers to the lower right. The second cartouche shows a river scene with a large craggy green hill on the distant shore with an arced bridge going from it to a tower and towers with pennants. In the centre foreground, a large sail boat looking rather like a Chinese junk, sail unfurled and pennants suspended from the mast. Two smaller similar vessels are receding into the distance. On the grassy green shore, right foreground, three Chinese figures wearing large black coolie hats. The one at the front in a purple robe holding the ends of a large textile panel between his hands. The central figure, seen from back, in a brown robe, and the third, to the right, a child in an orange red robe. Two green trees that look like bottle brushes to the far right. The saucer that relates to the second teabowl is decorated with a scene with similar elements. There are several tall, craggy brown and green rocks across the water, the central grouping surmounted by various tiny towers and a house. There is a large sail boat with a sail comprised of horizontal strips that closely resembles a Chinese junk in the centre with elaborate rigging and two pennants. On the green grassy shore to the right stand three Chinoiserie figures: a man in a black coolie hat with orange jacket and short blue trousers holds two rods aloft, one with three suspended ovals; a figure clad in a purple robe and orange skirt is bowing towards him; and, to their right, a third figure is holding an arced rod above its head with a blue drapery suspended from it. This third figure wears brown, orange and purple robes. A leafless willow tree and three green “bottle brush” trees stand in the background. In the immediate foreground, just below the brown eroded shore, one sees a brown and black wooden fence motif.
