Traditionally attributed to the Hausmaler Johann Philipp Dannhöfer, the decoration on this teapot is closely related to various other pieces of Hausmaler-decorated Meissen porcelain pre-1730. The subject is explored most comprehensively by Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky (1980, cat.no.20), where the author also lists other examples.
