Ecuelles were a specialty of Strasbourg together with beakers, goblets and toilet services. Their forms and stylistic influence evolved organically from the end of the 17th century to the late 18th century, initially reflecting a German influence and then French influence from the 1730s.
This Kirstein écuelle displays the characteristics of the transitional Rococo with enduring rocaille motifs combined in a more controlled ensemble to respond to the taste of the German clientele who commissioned these objects. It is also a perfect example of the talent of Johann Jacob Kirstein, master in 1760 who went on to become the forefather of the neoclassical style and worked for the most prestigious clients such as the Countess Christiane Henriette of Palatinate-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld (1725-1816).
