It is possible this bowl may have been included in the large quantity of porcelains of ca. 1727 that were owned and painted by Höroldt and sold to the King/Manufactory in 1731. Included among the 510 pieces of Meissen porcelain were....8 bowls with yellow ground, white reserves, colourful (= polychrome) figures and with gilding (= gold ornaments), transcribed in Boltz, 1997, pp. 3-24. The unusual gilt border around the top of the foot and early yellow palette can perhaps support this supposition.
