For an illustration of the model, and her companion see Angela Caròla-Perrotti, Exhibition Catalogue, 'Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli, Capodimonte e Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea 1743-1806', Naples, 1987, pp. 207-208, pl. 153 b (the lady) and 153 a (her companion), and p. 208 where the author discusses Gricci's distinctive interpretation of the figural salt in comparison to those already being made at Meissen around the 1740s.
