CIRCA 1730

The distinctive decoration on the present bowl of Japanese figures enriched in gilt is related to that found on a Meissen cinquefoil toilet box and cover formerly in the collection of Margarete and Fritz Oppenheimer, now in that of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam [BK-17353-A/B]; to two toilet boxes likely from the same service found in the Porzellansammlung, Dresden; and to a plate formerly in the von Klemperer Collection, all discussed in the Rijksmuseum catalogue entry referenced above.
