Hans Gottlieb von Bressler was a Silesian nobleman who appears to have decorated porcelain for his own interest in the style of the better known Breslau Hausmaler Ignaz Bottengruber. Another plate from this service is illustrated by G.E. Pazaurek, Deutsche Fayence-und Porzellan-Hausmaler (Leipzig 1925), Vol. I, col. pl. 18A, when it was still in the Count's Collection at Schloss Lauske. The central scenes on the service are derived from Les Jeux et plaisris [sic.] de l'enfance (Paris, 1657), by Jacques Stella, although it has been noted by M. Cassidy-Geiger that a print corresponding to the design on the present plate does not appear in the book. Other plates from the service are illustrated by Dr. Erika Pauls-Eisenbeiss German Porcelain of the 18th Century (London, 1972), Vol. I, pp. 548 & 549 and by Hans Syz et al., Catalogue of the Hans Syz Collection (Washington D.C., 1979), Vol. I, pp. 514 & 515, no. 347.
