Provenance:

- The Johanneum marks denote that these dishes were in the Collection of Augustus The Strong, and housed in the Japanese Palace in Dresden. Johanneum was 'the building at Dresden, now a museum, containing the former Royal Saxon Porcelain Collection started and largely formed in the so-called Japanese Palace by Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony. The specimens belonging to the old Collection bear marks referring to an inventory begun in 1721' (W.B. Honey, European Ceramic Art, pp. 337-338).
