These beakers are painted with the so-called "Tischchen-muster" pattern of indianische Blumen above a table picked out in gold, inspired by Japanese porcelain in the Kakiemon and Imari style. For a discussion of the pattern see J. Weber, Meißener Porzellane mit Dekoren nach ostasiatischen Vorbildern, vol. II (2013), cat. nos. 84-86.
