Specialist note

Referred to as either a panther or a leopard, the model for the present animal and shell sweetmeat dishes was conceived circa 1730 for the Du Paquier workshop. However, the marks found on the present examples plus the style of decoration confirm them as slightly later examples, made after Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier sold his porcelain factory to the Austrian state in 1744.
