A polished Böttger stoneware bowl and cover of the exact same shape is in the Grassi Museum, Leipzig (published by Claus Boltz, Steinzeug und Porzellan der Böttgerperiode, in Keramos 167/168 (2000), ills. 173-174, and by D. Gielke, Meissener Porzellan des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts (2003), no. 4). A related fourteen-sided bowl and cover with additional moulded fluting, decorated in the Funcke workshop with gilding and enamels, is in the Dresden porcelain collection; see I. Menzhausen, Alt-Meißner Porzellan in Dresden (1988), no. 31. See H. Espir, European Decoration on Oriental Porcelain 1700-1830, pp. 105f., for a discussion of Famille Rose-style decoration by Delft enamellers.
