The color palette of the painting seen on the current lot can be compared to early Du Paquier decoration. Maureen Cassidy-Geiger, The Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain, 1710-50, New York, 2008, writes, it is uncertain whether the decoration is that of a Viennese artist or the early work of Johann Gregorious Höroldt. A beaker and saucer of this pattern and probably from the same service, cataloged as Du Paquier porcelain was sold at Christie's London, December 11, 2007, lot 31. A teacup and saucer painted with a related oriental figure, is illustrated in Wilhelm Mrazek and Waltraud Neuwirth, Wiener Porzellan 1718-1864: Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst, Vienna, 1970, pl. 8, no. 32.
