Literature

A cup and saucer set of the same period with strikingly similar brushwork and background in the former collection of Said and Roswitha Marouf, in Pietsch, dated to 1720-22, and described as one of the earliest examples of pieces painted by Höroldt in coloured enamels (Pietsch, Passion for Meissen, Stuttgart 2010, no. 6).
