The mythological figures are based on prints in the Antichita' di Ercolano Esposte (1757-92) after frescoes in the Villa di Cicerone in Pompei. The ecuelle is related to the Servizio Ercolanese, which is arguably the best-known service produced by the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea. For a discussion of the service, see A. Caròla-Perrotti, Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli (1986), nos. 327-329.
