Comparable pieces in the Syz Collection, Westport, see Siegfried Ducret, Fürstenberger Porzellan, p. 76-77, ill. 83-87, vol. I, pl. 3. Ducret points out that Duke Charles I had already commissioned a first service in 1754, which could possibly be expected to have included the series with Charles' initials and the horse; two further plates can be found in the Pflueger Collection, New York, see H. Morley-Fletcher, Early European Porcelain & Faience. Kiyi and Edward Pflueger, 1993, p. 162.
