Specialist note

The form and decoration of this dish was derived from Chinese originals (from the 12th to 14th centuries), and were thus left undecorated. A similar dish is illustrated by U. Pietsch, Early Meissen Porcelain, A Private Collection, Lübeck, 1993, pp. 106-107, no. 87, where he notes that the 1779 Japanese Palace Inventory records 'forty-three scalloped (i.e. modelled) candy dishes'.
