The Meissen centrepiece which formed the model for the Chinese examples was originally referred to as a lemon basket; cf. D. Howard and J. Ayers, op.cit., p. 566, pl. 583, for a similar example together with its Meissen prototype and where it is noted that Chelsea and Derby examples also exist following the Meissen original. For a similar example bearing the arms of the Order of the Cincinnati and the monogram 'S.S.', cf. J.A. Lloyd Hyde, op.cit, p. 148. pl. XXX, no. 113. Cf. also D.F. Lunsingh Scheurleer, op.cit, pl. 157, for the similair pair of fruit-stands in the Fundatie Van Renswoude, Utrecht; C.J.A. Jorg, op.cit, p. 172, fig. 86; and the Helena Woolworth McCann example, which is slightly later in date, illustrated by J.G. Phillips, op.cit., p. 197, pl. 96
