This design on the present lot is probably by the Dutch draughtsman Cornelis Pronk (1691-1754), although his drawing for the pattern has not been discovered. Pieces from this service have slight variations in the gilt spearheads and border decoration, which would indicate more than one order. A bowl, similar to the present lot, was in the Mottahedeh Collection, illustrated by Howard and Ayers, China for the West, London and New York, 1978, vol. I, p. 305, no. 299. For "Trumpeter" tea pieces from the collection of Mary Viscountess Rothermere see Christie's, New York, 16 April 1994, lots 30-32.
