HIGHLY IMPORTANT Meissen KPM teapot, C.1723 / 25

Another HIGHLY IMPORTANT Meissen KPM teapot, C.1723 / 25, almost certainly from the 'Half figures service' and see below to the Bonhams set sold for £541,250, for which there was no teapot or coffeepot. Chinoiseries painted by Johann Gregor Höroldt, and see info below. I would like to bet that these figures are in the world famous Shultz Codex books. His style is so distinctive, with big bold figures like these.

The Meissen factory only used this swords and KPM mark for very few years, and so it just like having an accurate date for the teapot. It is very rare to see any dates or signatures on early Meissen. Signatures were forbidden, for example

CONDITION. SUPERB, with only a tiny chip to that extremely vulnerable spout to the end, and rubbed gilding. The lid only has flakes of paint missing from rim edge.
