Vorlagen zum Porzellanmalen nach alten Mustern
A patterns book titled Vorlagen zum Porzellanmalen nach alten Mustern, drawn by A. Göppinger and published in Munich in 1880 by Verlag von Fr. Bassermann as a set of models for porcelain painters working from older designs. The pages are watercolour flower studies, each a single sprig or small bouquet laid out on cream paper with a few loose groupings per plate. A designer could take from them the compact asymmetrical posies, with tulips, roses and pansies in pale blues and purples, as ready-made motifs for ceramic borders, stationery or textile sprays.
