Christian Friedrich Herold

Probably a relative of J. G. Herold (Horoldt), and one of the most important porcelain painters at Meissen from 1725 to 1777. He was responsible for several signed and many unsigned color enamel "chinoiseries" and harbour-scenes. A tea service pictured on plate 144a in European Ceramic Art-Illustrated Historical Survey is attributed to C. F. Herold and is decorated with harbor scenes similar to this sugar box.
