A further example in the Art Gallery New South Wales, inv. no. L2012.54.
This design was copied from the repertoire of the du Paquier manufactory in Vienna, where it was produced in a slightly larger version of ca. 14 cm (cat.: Fired by Passion Melinda and Paul Sullivan Foundation for the Decorative Arts, Hartford, vol. 3, Stuttgart 2009, no. 484).
Kaendler's workshop records contain an entry from May 1734 "6. Also a dog kennel, designed as if it were made from stones and with a tiled roof." (from the German in: Pietsch ed., Leipzig 2002, p. 23).
