• For a discussion of this and related types of gold decoration on Meissen, French and Chinese porcelain, see Errol Manners, Gold Decoration on French, German, and Oriental Porcelain in the early 18th Century, in The French Porcelain Society Journal, IV (2011), pp. 24-42. A closely similar slop bowl with virtually the same sequence of applied decoration and bearing the signature of Christoph Conrad Hunger is in the collection of the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Vienna (figs. 21a-b). The author argues that the signature, the basis for the traditional attribution of this style of decoration to Hunger, may be a fraudulent addition, and suggests that the group can be attributed to French decorators. The Vienna bowl and several other pieces decorated in the same manner are published by G. Pazaurek, Die Deutsche Fayence- und Porzellan-Hausmaler (1925), I, pl. 10, ill. 117. A Meissen teabowl and saucer with similar decoration in the Grassi Museum, Leipzig, is published by Dieter Gielke, Meissener Porzellan des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts (2003), no. 24; a similarly decorated Chinese beaker and saucer in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg, is published K. Pechstein/N. Götz, Böttgersteinzeug und fruhes Meißener Porzellan (1982), no. 95.
