The model of the teapot originates from a Chinese type and was already mentioned in
B鰐tgersteinzeug in 1711 (Triumph; 2010; p.265). This teapot-type is also known from
Vienna (Fired by Passion; 2009).
One Meissen teapot of this model from the collection Britzke shows a very comparable
flower decor and likewise an according ornamental rim of the lid opening on the top side
with lattice work (Meissener Porzellan; 2009).
