A very similar example forms part of the Karlsruhe Türkenbeute assembly mostly captured at the siege of Vienna (Ernst Petrasch, Reinhard Sänger, Eva Zimmermann and Hans Georg Majer, Die Karlsruher Türkenbeute, Munich, 1991, no.256, pp.295-6). That catalogue entry lists six further examples in Central Europe. A further flask with similar decoration is in the Sadberk Hanim Museum, Istanbul (Ömer M. Koç and Hülya Bilgi, Reunited after Centuries, Istanbul, 2005, no.48, pp.118-9).
