R.G. Vater Collection no. 607 (paper collection label applied to the underside of the blue-scale-ground plates).
R.G. Vater Collection no. 590 (paper collection label applied to the underside of the bowl).

A pink-ground plate in the British Museum (museum no. Franks.152), most probably from the same service as the pink ground examples in the present lot, is signed by Johann Heinrich Usinger and dated 1784. The decoration on these plates is derived from etchings by François-Anne David, after engravings published in Pitture antiche d'Ercolano, Book II, Rome, 1780, which recorded the murals of Pompeii and Herculaneum. For further discussion of services with this type of decoration see Christina Kallieris, 'Antikenrezeption im späten 18. Jahrhundert anhand von Höchster Porzellantellern', in Keramos, no. 223, 2014, pp. 13-44.
