Strapwork and rinceaux with Chinoiserie figures
Schwarzlot, or black enamel painting, is found on porcelain and on faience and glass painted by independent Hausmaler working in Silesia and Bohemia in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The decoration here is attributed to Ignaz Preissler (1676–1741). It is likely that the Schwarzlot on Du Paquier porcelain was influenced by this earlier tradition.
