Canon August Ernst Otto von dem Busch of Hildesheim (1704-1779) was an independent decorator of Meissen porcelain. He used a diamond-point technique, etching the glaze and filled in with charcoal. His only pupil was J.G. Kratzberg, also Canon of Hildesheim, who worked in the same technique. For a comparable rococo saucer in the British Museum, see Gustav Patsaurek, Deutsche Fayence und Porzellan Hausmaler, Leipzig, 1925, p. 412, fig. 378.
