The artist's initials can be read on an end panel, inscribed in dark purple on the small lilac oval on the drum table at which a man is seated smoking.

The gilt decoration is close to that on a Wochenterrine formerly in the Gustav von Klemperer collection. Cf. Ludwig Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Porzellansammlung Gustav v. Klemperer, nos. 77-78
