Footnotes

A similarly decorated large dish is in the Arnhold Collection, New York (Cassidy-Geiger 2008, no. 223). The author notes that the decoration is based on a Japanese dish, one of 804 Asian ceramics left to Augustus the Strong in 1722 by a member of his court, Daniel Friedrich Raschke, who acted as his agent in Holland.
