專家說明

Similar birds flying and perched on branches are to be found on faience jugs painted by Seuter between 1715 and 1720 and illustrated by Ducret, Meissener Porzellan bemalt in Augsburg, vol. II, pl. 1-7. The birds are likely taken from an illustrated book on ornithology. Compare the jug from the Kamarsky Collection, Christie's, New York, 30 October 1993, lot 12 as well as the similarly decorated Schwartzlot bowl with Gitterwerk rim in the Museo delle Porcellane at the Palazzo Pitti.
