Catalogue Note
Similar porcelain production scenes appear more usually in sets of watercolors made for the export market, and, more rarely on large-scale famille-rose wares such as jars and fishbowls. A small platter presumably from the same service as the present piece, was in the Collection of Benjamin F. Edwards, sold at Christie's, New York, January 20, 2004, lot 37.
