[NOTE: Baker's Chocolate began as a small company in 1780 as the market for chocolate was growing within the colonies here in the U.S. Baker was a family name. The company was kept in the family until 1852, then continued with the same name thereafter. The young lady named "La Belle Chocolatiere" that still appears on packages is a representation of the original painting that hangs in the Dresden Gallery in Germany. La Belle Chocolatiere has graced the Baker's Chocolate package since 1877, making her the oldest product trademark in America. Her story dates back to 1745 when Prince Dietrichstein, an Austrian nobleman, went to a chocolate shop to try the new drink everyone was talking about - hot chocolate. His waitress was Anna Baltauf and the prince was so taken by the young lady that he soon asked her to marry him, making her a princess. Prince Dietrichstein commissioned a portrait of his wife by the famous Swiss painter Jean Etienne Liotard as a wedding gift. The artist suggested that she pose in her chocolate server's costume, commemorating what brought them together. Some time prior to 1883, when the image was registered as a U.S. trademark, Henry L. Pierce, then president of Walter Baker & Company, saw the painting and decided it would be the perfect image for his packaged chocolate.]

The fine drawing of Magu's feminine face is in the traditional Chinese style without shading. The scene contains many symbols of long-life and immortality, especially the lingzhi fungus, the deer, and the peaches, while the blossoming prunus tree represents youth and new life.Augustus II (1670-1733) King of Poland and Elector of Saxony known as Augustus the Strong, whose passion for collecting created the basis of Dresden’s Art Collections, had a particular fondness for East Asian porcelain from the 17th and early 18th centuries. Obsessed with porcelain, he had the largest collection of Asian porcelain in Europe with over 29,000 pieces recorded on his death in 1733.This plate can be dated with some accuracy since no new pieces were added to the collection of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) after his death in 1733, and the inventory books at Dresden reveal that dishes of this kind were acquired in 1727. After his death in 1733, the porcelain was packed away in the cellars of the unfinished "Japanische Palace". The term "Johanneum" was taken from the building in Dresden to which the royal collection was moved in 1875-76.One plate with the same number of the old Dresden inventory (N=183 I, inventory 1779) and almost identical decoration and size is in the Dresden collection.[1] Some other examples with the same inventory number entered the art trade presumably as a result of earlier sales, with examples found in the museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam[2] and in the former Collection Ignazio Vok.[3] Two smaller dishes (39cm diameter and 38.8cm) with the same design and inventory number were sold respectively at Christie's London, 30 April 2015, lot 111 and Sotheby's New York, 17 March 2021.[1] Eva Ströber, La maladie de porcelaine ..., East Asian Porcelain from the Collection of Augustus the Strong, Leipzig, 2001, no. 32[2] C.J.A.
