Maureen Cassidy-Geiger, The Arnhold Collection of Meissen Porcelain, 1710-50, New York, 2008, writes that other bowls with the same inventory numbers, of the same shape, but variant decoration, are in the National Museum in Warsaw, and cites the entry of 1770 inventory of the Japanese palace: ‘Fünf einzelne Aufsatz-Stücken, different und theils defect, No. 325’, [Five individual display pieces, different and mostly damaged, No. 325]. The figural panel illustrated may derive from plate 64 of the Schulz Codex.
A teapot with a similar unusual powder-blue ground, painted with figures in the manner of Stadler, sold at Sotheby's London, July 13, 1976, lot 65.
