A large lacquered sheet iron tray with a view of Koblenz

Numbered "307./30" in red. The lacquer decor peeling in areas. H 5, W 75, D 58.3 cm.
Koblenz, attributed to Schaaffhausen & Dietz, mid-19th C.

Following the example of Johann Heinrich Stobwasser's successful manufactory, other manufacturers also produced tinware such as this to be decorated in lacquer. In Koblenz, Schaaffhausen & Dietz established a tinware factory in the Alte Burg. They are considered the oldest lacquerware factory in the Rhineland.

Cf. a tray of the same form from the Stobwasser manufactory (probably the model) in Richter, Stobwasser. Lackkunst aus Braunschweig und Berlin, vol. I, Münster-Munich 2005, p. 148 and cat. No. 35.

Cf. Richter/Willscheid, Reinheit, Feuer und Glanz. Stobwasser und Roentgen - Kunsthandwerk von Weltrang, Neuwied 2013, p. 115 and no. 93, an identical piece with a similar depiction from the Schaaffhausen & Dietz manufactory.
