Specialist note

It still remains unclear as to whether decoration of this type was executed independently of the factory at Bayreuth by Danhöffer or by Busch, or if it was produced at the factory. For a full discussion of this subject, see B. Beaucamp-Markowsky, Europäisches Porzellan, Kataloge des Kunstgewerbemuseums Köln, Vol. VI, pp. 89-93. Also see S. Ducret, 'Johann Philipp Danhoffer oder Christian Daniel Busch?', Keramos, No. 17, 1962, pp. 19-26.
