A bowl of identical form is shown in a still life painting by Christian Berentz (German, 1658-1722), formerly in the Liechtenstein Princely Collections and sold by Sotheby's on 7 July 2011, lot 204. Berentz was painting in Rome from 1680 until his death, suggesting an Italian origin for a bowl of this type. A rib-moulded example of different form with similar handles is illustrated by Anna-Elisabeth Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg (1994), p.130, no.85. A similarly moulded bowl with plain handles is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession no. 83.7.71).
