Derartige Gefäßporzellane nach naturalistischen Formen, zumeist Butterdosen und Terrinen, sind häufig von Johann Joachim Kaendler gestaltet worden und dienten neben ihrer Speisefunktion auch als außergewöhnliche Tischdekoration der höfischen Tafeln. Zwischen 1737 und 1741 beschäftigte sich Kaendler intensiv mit der Thematik des Wassers als lebenspendendes Element und schuf eine Reihe von Meerestieren und Wasserpflanzen, darunter u. a. einen Delphin als Terrine, die in einem Arbeitsbericht von J. J. Kaendler aus dem Jahr 1770 verzeichnet ist.
