For a discussion of this service see Dieter Hoffmeister, 'Meissener Porzellan des 18. Jahrhunderts' Katalog der Sammlung Hoffmeister (Hamburg, 1999) nos. 60-64. Several of the chinoiserie vignettes can be directly related to the Schulz Codex and many more preparatory drawings must once have existed.

For a slightly larger version of this plate with identical decoration see the example sold in these Rooms on 21st February 2005, lot 46.
