Comparable elements are visible on the chandelier in the Dubsky-Zimmer in the MAK, Vienna. See John F. Hayward, Vienna Porcelain of the Du Paquier Period, London, 1952, pl. 24. This was the first porcelain room where the major decorative elements were executed in this new and precious material. Its splendor was only to be outshone by the Capodimonte Salotto in Naples.
