The present box and cover may be similar to the butter box referred to in Kaendler's Taxa 1740-48 as '1 Butter Büchsse in Gestalt eines Ent-Vogels vor Se. Hoch-Reichs Gräffl. Excell. den Herrn Obristen de Brühl nach Bonn. 3 Thlr.', see Carl Albiker, Die Meissner Porzellantiere im 18. Jahrhundert, Berlin, 1959, p. 18, no. 146 and pl. 146 for a pair of ormolu-mounted boxes from the Mannheimer collection in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The pair is also illustrated in Abraham L. den Blaauwen, Meissen Porcelain in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2000, p. 413, no. 301.
