Acquired at the above sale.
See Julia Weber, Meißener Porzellane mit Dekoren nach ostasiatischen Vorbilden, Band II, Munich, 2013, p. 188, cat. no. 159 for two baskets of the same form and with similar decoration to the interiors. This basket shape is first mentioned in Kändler's work records for November 1733, though it probably predates this entry and was likely made in three sizes.
