Provenance:
A Highly Important Private Collection of Meissen and Continental Porcelain, Christie's London, 11 December 2007, lot 83
The scene on the teabowl may be based on an engraving by Albrecht Schmidt from the pattern book "Libenter Stude [...]", published in Augsburg around 1710-20, for which see S. Ducret, Meißner Porzellan, vol. II (1972), ill. 216, and M. Cassidy-Geiger, "Verknüpfungen herstellen", in Exotische Welten (2010), ill. 16. A similarly decorated slop bowl, probably from the same service, is illustrated by Ducret, col. pl. VIII.
