Description
On the knob of the lid an eagle on a rock. Engraved the city coat of arms and the inscription: Matthaeus Schlintzig / und / Christoph Vogler / Dieser Zeit Cämmerer / Anno 1662 / In E. E. Raths Cammer gehörig. On the cover: Ovo prognatus eodem Munusculum Patris et Avi utrorum rei Senatoriae instauratorum, postea Consulum, operculo desiderato redintegrat, Christoph: Henricus Voglerus tertium Consul Dresdae VI. Non. May M. DCCXII Scr. B. S. Marked on the edge of the lid with Leipzig assay mark and maker's mark (A.). The lid probably by Johann Michael Winckelmann. This and certainly also the coat of arms of the city of Dresden from the year 1712. The second marking on the ground with Dresden assay and the maker's mark (B.) probably belongs to the original master of 1662, the first of a reworking from 1712.
Provenance
Until May 1945, the object was kept in the Dresden City Hall (seat of the Dresden City Museum). It was stored there together with the other handicraft exhibits of the museum - packed in boxes - in the cellar. Lost since the end of the war.
