This plate was a part of an elaborate 2,200-piece dinner service that was acclaimed as the largest porcelain service produced in the 18th century. It was commissioned by the director of the Meissen Manufactory, Count Heinrich von Brühl, in 1736 and took four years to complete. Almost all the pieces are painted with the arms of count Brühl and his wife Maria Anna Franziska, whom he married in 1734.
