Rare cafetière à décor Hausmaler et montée en vermeil, Meissen circa 1725

A rare Meissen silver-gilt-mounted Hausmaler coffee pot and cover, circa 1725

Decorated in Augsburg in the Seuter workshop in gilding, with an unusual continuous scene depicting a hunt above a band of drapery swags, the handle and spout gilt, the domed cover with a similar continuous scene, the silver-gilt mounts marked for Elias Adam, Augsburg, 20.5cm high, 14 wide (minor wear)

There is some rubbing and wear to the gilding on the cover and finial with some discoloration or oxidisation visible around the gilt rim. There is a tiny flat chip (approx. 0.4 x 0.1 cm) to the spout tip, which is gilt over (original condition). There is a tiny spot of flaking to the gilding on the edge of the spout and a few small areas flaking to gilt band around the rim, mainly where the mount touches the coffee pot. There are a few tiny scattered spots of flaking to the gilding on the handle and foot and there is a bit of typical scattered rubbing to the gilt landscape scenes.
There is an oval area ground out of the pot, below and slightly to the left of the spout (approx. 1 x 0.8 cm), which is original to the time of the Augsburg decoration. The foot has also been slightly ground down and the slightly canted edge has traces of gilding (also original condition to time of decoration).

Otherwise overall in good condition.
