Lit.:
Otto Walcha, Anekdotisches Porzellan, 1981, pp. 10-12 with depiction. Legend has it the depicted is the court tailor of Augustus III, who had a great favour to ask of Augustus III one day: “The court tailor asked him one day to reward his work instead of payment with the opportunity to attend the court table. He was not rebuffed, but was asked to return to the royal palace a few weeks later. The tailor was greatly looking forward to the honour. Then this group was ordered from the Meißner Manufaktur. When the court tailor appeared on the day he was asked to attend the court table, he was led from one room to the next, until he could hardly contain his excitement. He must have been quite surprised and deeply disappointed when he reached the room with a decorated festive table to find at the centre his image made of porcelain.”
