Similar scenes, including the same fortified tower and arch-bridge, are on a series of faience plates decorated in black monochrome with harbour scenes and armorials in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg (A. Müller-Hofstede, "Der schlesisch-böhmische Hausmaler Ignaz Preißler," in Keramos 100 (1983), ill. 54, attributed to Preissler). A teapot decorated with a view of Paris in the same technique using iron-red and black is in the Victoria & Albert Museum (C.75&A-1939, published by A. Müller-Hofstede, op. cit., ill. 49), and a bowl is in the Prague Museum of Decorative Arts (published by H. Brozkova (ed.), Daniel a Ignac Preisslerové, 2009, no. 77).
