Angela Carolà-Perrotti, Ibid., mentions that this style of painting probably came to Capodimonte through the Neapolitan ambassador to the Court of St.Germain, in 1746 and the scenes were perhaps taken from Pillements drawings illustrated in The Ladies Amusement. She also cites two pieces with similar chinoiseries, a food warmer in the Museum of Arts and Industry of Naples, illustrated Angela Carolà-Perrotti, Porcellane e terraglie dal tardo Barocco al Liberty: Napoli a confronto con l'Europa, pl. 32 and an unpublished chalice shaped vase in a private collection. There would appear to be a close link between this dish and the famous Salotto di Portici of the late 1750's
