A plate with a similar lion mark in blue enamel over an Ansbach mark in underglaze-blue is illustrated by A.L. den Blaauwen, Loosdrechts Porselein 1774-1784 (1988), no.275. A teapot of Ansbach shape but apparently unmarked (no. 274) shows the same mark. Another tea-kettle with ormolu mounts and wooden handle is in the collection of Kasteel-Museum Sypesteyn, Loosdrecht.
For a discussion of this rare piece see the footnote to a cup and saucer from the same service sold in these rooms, 14 December 2016 lot 141.
