A VERY LARGE CIRCULAR DISH, SILVER
IN the centre is a representation of the “ Feast of the Gods” in relief, and embossed on the
wide border are four amorini in different attitudes amid large cornucopiae and flowers, the
plain edge being scalloped.
Diameter, 68 cm. 5.
Marks: the pine-cone of Augsburg and the mark of the maker, probably Heinrich Mannlich
who was born about 1625, and worked as a goldsmith at Troppau, where he was master from
1649 until 1651, when he removed to Augsburg. He died there in 1698. (N° 374 in
Rosenberg’s Der Goldschmiede Merkzeichen, 2nd edition, 1911.) According to L. Forrer’s
Dictionary of Medallists^ 1907, Heinrich Mannlich was also a seal engraver at Augsburg.
German (Augsburg), circa 1675.
Plate L.
A large silver dish with a representation of the queen of Sheba offering gifts to Solomon, by
the same maker, is illustrated on plate LIII. In addition to the long list of pieces by this same
silversmith, enumerated by Dr Marc Rosenberg, there is by him a large silver statuette of a
cavalier on horseback, embellished with medallions of Socrates and Hippocrates. This is at
Windsor castle and is illustrated on plate XIII in E. Alfred Jones’s Gold and Silver of Windsor
Castle, 1911. A figure of Diana on a stag, with the same maker’s mark, was sold by the prin-
cesse Jacques de Broglie in the Georges Petit gallery in Paris in June 1911. It was numbered
54 in the catalogue, and realised 14,100 francs. It had been in the collection of her mother,
the late princesse de Wagram, who had inherited it from her father, baron Carl von Rothschild.
