Literature

Directly copying a Meissen model produced around 1740, the form was meant to be a table centerpiece set above an oval tray and surrounded by other smaller condiment pots to hold spice and oil, as illustrated in Bredo L. Grandjean, Dansk Ostindisk Porcelæn, Copenhagen, 1965, fig. 56, cat. no. 40. Another example is illustrated in David Howard and John Ayers, China for the West, vol. II, London, 1978, p. 566, along with a Meissen example.
