Around 1700 porcelain vases of this size were extremely rare and prestigious. This vase comes from the collection of Elector Augustus the Strong in Dresden. A number of duplicates from that collection were sold in the early 20th century, and this example found its way to the Rijksmuseum. Several identical vases can still be found in the museum in Dresden (the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen).
