A pair of similar plates from the Nelson Rockefeller Collection is illustrated by Anton Gabszewicz, Made at New Canton (2000), p.74, pl.61. On the previous page Gabszewicz notes that 'the rendering of botanical specimens on Bow porcelain is well known for the use of broad artistic license'. The exotic fruit and cactus on the present lot is charmingly painted according to this tradition. Another octagonal plate painted with flowers and insects but not fruit from the M Dudley Westropp Collection was sold by Bonhams on 5 March 2003, lot 68.
