Literature

The origin and era of these vases remained a mystery for quite some time, Otto v. Falke (Altberliner Fayence, Berlin 1923, illus. 60) illustrates a comparable vase and dates this tentatively to 1790, origin unknown. Wittwer has recently published an essay in which he presents good arguments to date the vase to after 1840 in: "Berliner Lackvasen" (cat. Schwartz Porcelain, Münster 2004, p. 237 ff).
