Zarin Elisabeth Petrowna von Russland erteilte 1745 einen umfangreichen Auftrag an die Meissener Manufaktur für eine große Anzahl an Figuren als Tafeldekoration, u.a. für die "Vier Erdteile". Aus dieser Lieferung an den Zarenhof ist nur die Figurengruppe der Europa erhalten geblieben. Die seltene gesamte Serie der Erdteile befindet sich in einer Ausformung um 1770 in der Dresdener Porzellansammlung und wurde 2004 in der Ausstellung "Meißen für die Zaren" gezeigt.
