A cup by the same artist published by Schädler (1973), ill. 481.
Base and handle of the present specimen trimmed. The place of attachment of the handle still visible at the back of the head. Probably originally designed like the cup shown in Schädler, rising from a high openwork base.
Other works by this artist auctioned at Zemanek-Münster: an anthropomorphic chair (Zemanek-Münster, 22 September 2007, lot 496/ AHDRC 0025093) and a seated figure (Zemanek-Münster, 11 November 2017, lot 401/ AHDRC 0147858).
