Above, sheet 5 of Höroldt's Schulz-Codex which shows the source for the seated figure on the left teabowl. A similar figure appears on a teapot in the Rijksmuseum (see Abraham L. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum [Amsterdam, 2000], p. 107, no. 54), and also on a beaker formerly in the Oppenheimer Collection (see L. Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Sammlung Margarete und Franz Oppenheimer, Meissner Porzellan [1927], fig. 52).
