The inventory number is the mark for famille verte porcelains in the Japanese Palace and is evidence that these were acquired by Augustus the Strong, whose collection of Asian porcelain is immensely important as a document of 18th-century trade, taste, and influence. They are listed among twelve ensembles of the same description and inventory number in 1770 (Inventarium 1770, vol. IV, fol. 47a).
