Literature:
The decoration of the plate, with a floral bouquet and butterfly in the center, also corresponds to examples executed in the high-temperature technique, suggesting that this may be one of the earliest plates painted in Strasbourg using a palette containing purple (according to Peter Ducret’s notes). This comparison of decoration executed in different techniques (Grand Feu and Petit Feu) is also discussed in Bastian 2002, p. 199, where this plate is illustrated.
