See B. Bumpus, Pâte-sur-Pâte, The Art of Ceramic Relief Decoration, 1849-1902, Essex, 1992, pp. 182-185 for a discussion on the development of the pâte-sur-pâte technique at Meissen including an archival photograph illustrating this model (fig. 136). Also see R. Röntgen, The Book of Meissen, Exton, PA, 1984, p. 158, fig. 148 for a similar blue ground vase, circa 1890 and pl. 72 for an exhibition jewel casket attributed to Prof. Ludwig Sturm. For a similar pair of vases with applied flowers at the shoulder, see Christie's, New York, 10 October 2001, lot 119. Also see the 1911 Meissen Tradesman's Catalogue, pl. 62 and 74 for other examples of this form, the later mounted as an early example of a four light table lamp.
