Comparable examples: two cauliflower tureens without présentoirs at Schloss Höchstädt (inv. nos. ResMü.K.VI.0131–0132, from the historic holdings of the Munich Residence). A tureen with a présentoir, described as a cauliflower leaf, is illustrated in "Palais Rohan Strasbourg" 1975, p. 72, no. 116. Remarkably, the lettuce tureen (ibid., p. 76, no. 123) is also shown on such a présentoir.
