See Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Porzellansammlung Gustav von Klemperer, Dresden 1928, pl. 26, no. 811, for a teapot and cover with the same gilt border as the present lot. Although the Klemperer teapot could perhaps be from the same service, the figures appear to be by a different hand.

For other services with closely related gilt borders see Richard Seyffarth, Johann Gregorius Höroldt, Dresden, 1981, col. pls. 2-12.

The central figure seated before the column appears to be taken from sheet 53 of the Schulz Codex.
