Johann Gottfried Eckoldt (1707 or 1708-1769) was employed at Meissen from 1731 and is listed among the Weißdreher in 1739 and 1740 (Rückert 1996, p. 79). Another example of this rare decoration (of which Hoffmeister notes that only four examples are known) is in the Dr. Ernst Schneider collection, Schloss Lustheim.
