Literature

Cf. Weber, Meißener Porzellane mit Dekoren nach ostasiatischen Vorbildern, vol. II, Munich 2013, no. 474 ff. Julia Weber mentions an 151-piece dinner service which was confiscated from Dresden by the Prussian King at the close of the 1st Silesian War in 1745 and taken to Berlin. She proposes that this dish may come from that service.
