The style of the chinoiserie figures and the colour palette used in the scenes is comparable to work of painter Adam Friedrich von Löwenfinck. In November 1727, thirteen year-old von Löwenfinck began a seven year apprenticeship at Meissen under the direction of the head of the painting workshop Johann Gregorius Höroldt. In 1731, he is listed in the factory records as a painter of coloured flowers, but by 1736 he is recorded as a painter at the faience factory in Bayreuth. His relatively short tenure at Meissen (Höroldt would continue to work at the factory until 1775) has raised questions as to how much material the painter was able to complete, and how much can be attributed to his hand. Nevertheless, a style emphasizing the contoured line with vibrant shades of colour became associated with his name. Similar figures can be seen on the Meissen 'Earl of Jersey' service, which has historically been attributed to Löwenfinck, though some pieces date to after his departure from the factory. A tomato-red-ground snuff box painted with this form of contour chinoiseries was in the Helmut Joseph Collection, illustrated in Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Collection of 18th Century Porcelain Boxes, exh. cat., Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1988, pp. 28-29, cat. no. 9.

Cranfield University used non-invasive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for this lot to screen the green enamel for chromium, which was not detected, a result consistent with eighteenth century manufacture.
