The figure of the Oriental holding a bird-cage (illustrated opposite page) is taken from sheet no. 21 of the Schutz-Codex (illustrated bottom left) and the figure of the hunched Oriental is taken from sheet no. 18 (illustrated bottom right).

Another beaker (formerly with Andreina Torre, Zurich) with similar mounts and painted by the same hand with figures taken from the same sheets of the Schulz-Codex, is illustrated with the vorzeichnungen by Siegfried Ducret, Meissener Porzellan bemalt in Augsburg (Brunswick, 1971), Vol. I., figs. 136 and 137. Another beaker and saucer from the same service and again using the same sheets from the Schulz-Codex is in the Carabelli collection see Ulrich Pietsch, Frühes Meissener Porzellan (Munich, 2000), pp. 31-32, no. 1.

(The detail of the beaker on the opposite page is larger than actual size)
