A set of twelve Chinese bowls decorated in red and gold with this pattern was purchased by Augustus the Strong in July 1723. Another Dutch-decorated Chinese bowl of this pattern, with the addition of green and black, as on the present lot, entered the collection in 1727-28 (H. Espir, European Decoration on Oriental Porcelain 1700-1830 (2005), p. 62, fig. 16).
