Literature
Current scholarship leans towards the workshops enamelling Saxon glass of the same period as the source for the decoration on the present teabowl and away from the traditional attribution to the Meissen painter Conrad Hunger. Cf. Ulrich Pietsch, EaryMeissen Porcelain, A Private Collection, Lbeck, 1993, no. 93; also G. Hasse, Schsisches Glas, Leipzig, 1988, no. 238.
