GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This bold baroque soup tureen and stand was made in London in 1728 by the well-known German silversmith Charles Kandler, who trained at the Saxon court in Dresden in the early 18th century. His younger brother, Johann Joachim Kaendler, one of Europe's most important sculptor-modelers, produced work in porcelain of nearly identical form.
The fluted, sculptural shape and elegant, smooth surface of this silver tureen are nearly identical to that of some 18th-century porcelain tureens produced in other parts of Europe, though examples of both are rare. The exchange of designs throughout Europe thrived during the 18th century as a result of printed materials, international patronage, and immigrant artisans. Although trained in Dresden, Kandler emigrated to London by 1727, where he produced this tureen and its accompanying stand.
