scenes from the Far Eastern tea culture as well as once garden scene and represent the
western fascination with 18th century Chinese culture. At the rim four cartouches with

Literature reference:
Meissner Porzellan des 18. Jh., Sammlung Hoffmeister Band I, cat. rais. no. 60-63, presumbaly belonging to the same service. The plate at hand does not belong, with 21,5 cm diameter, to one size available in the collection Hoffmeister, there platters and smaller plates

The present plate with its unusual decoration appears to belong to a very specific service context. In the Bamberg Ludwig Collection there is another plate with the same decoration and the characteristic large Chinese figures on hanger bases. In the catalogue description of the Ludwig Collection exhibition catalogue mentioned above, other pieces with this type of decoration are listed, such as a plate in the collection of the Historisches Museum Bern, a platter in the Pauls-Eisenbeis Collection and a bowl in the Württembergisches Landesmuseum Stuttgart.
