Footnotes

Provenance:
Pauls-Eisenbeiss Collection, Basel (applied collectors' labels)

From a service of which several other plates and dishes, but no tureens, are recorded. Meredith Chilton suggests that the service would almost certainly have been for dessert, and perhaps also for the first course (M. Chilton/C. Lehner-Jobst (eds.), Fired by Passion (2009), cat. no. 205, for a charger from the service in the Gardiner Museum, Toronto, and a list of other published pieces).
