The mark of Jacob Schmidt, modeller and sculptor. He was, in 1779, a pupil at the factory in his fourteenth year. He died in 1807. Many of his pieces have his initials incised. An example at the _Dansk Folke Museum_, Copenhagen, has this mark together with the three lines _incised_, which is an exceedingly rare mark. [Illustration] Incised mark on a cream cup and cover at the _Kunstindustri Museum_, Copenhagen, decorated with purple flowers and rococo ornamentation, gilded, and having scale-pattern in red. This mark (signifying that the piece belongs to the Christian VII era) is unusual. This may be conjectured to be a specimen made by Müller prior to 1775, that is, before the adoption of the mark of the three blue lines. [Illustration] The incised mark of Hans Meehl, who was a modeller at the factory in 1791. This mark is found on a polychrome _Figure of a Man_ in national costume (_Norsk Bjergmund_), at the _Kunstindustri Museum_, Copenhagen. [Illustration] This mark is incised on the base of a polychrome figure of a _Woman with Hens_ at the _Kunstindustri Museum_, Copenhagen. [Illustration] LIST OF LEADING PAINTERS AND MODELLERS[6] Who worked at the Royal factory under the Direction of Frantz Heinrich Müller (1773-1801). [6] For the leading facts contained herein, I am indebted to Professor Karl Madsen in his article in _Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri_, 1893. ANTON CARL LUPLAU. 1776-1795. Was at the Fürstenberg factory for eighteen years. Müller visited Luplau at Brunswick in 1776, and on November 14th an agreement was signed, and Luplau joined the Copenhagen factory as modelling-master. He died in 1795. He was a perfect craftsman. Many of his pieces were signed, e.g. the Bust of Queen Juliane Marie. Luplau made many of the models for the _Flora Danica_ service, and executed 20 Norwegian types after the well-known sandstone figures at Fredensborg. CLAUS TVEDE. 1775-1783. Sculptor and modeller at the factory. He is supposed to have made the Statuette of the Hereditary Prince Frederik after the design by Ludovico Grossi, which piece bears the initials of the modeller Andreas Hald.
