Only three similar ovoid jugs decorated in underglaze-blue are recorded: two in the porcelain collection in Dresden (Meissener Blaumalerei aus drei Jahrhunderten (1989), nos. 53 and 54; the first (no. 53), acquired in 1890 from the Carl Spitzner Collection, Dresden, is also marked with a pseudo-Chinese character and is painted with a chinoiserie figure and plants; the second is decorated after a Japanese Kakiemon pattern). The third example is in the Henry Arnhold Collection, New York (M. Cassidy-Geiger, The Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain 1710-50 (2008), no. 165).
