The shape of this wall fountain is unique. Other wall fountains of similar shape are recorded, and for a discussion of this type of object made in Strasbourg see Bastian, J., Strasbourg, Faïences et Porcelaines 1721-1784, vol 1, p. 100ff.
Jacques Bastian, , 2021, writes about this cistern that the shape of this faience fountain is unique: no other example is known, although it is made from moulds. The attribution to Strasbourg is based on the clarity of the mantling decoration, typical of those made in the Alsatian manufacture, and on the presence of the leopard with its particular spots, accompanying the figure on the lid and his dog (the theme of the leopard as a tray support can be found in pyramids of table tops, cf. Bastian, volume I, p. 187, ill. 173 and 174).
The years around 1735 in Strasbourg saw a number of designs that were not continued in production (cf. Bastian, vol. I, p. 186, ill. 172), which explains the surprising and unique character of this piece.
