Literature

"Cf. the example in the Pauls-Eisenbeiss collection in Menzhausen/Karpinski, In Porzellan verzaubert, Basel 1993, p. 161.
Cf. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 2000, no. 330. The identification as a son of the Saxon Dauphine Maria Josepha who died young (1751 - 1761) is based on Otto Walcha."
