Master painter Giovanni Caselli often drew on contemporary engravings by, or after, François Boucher and Antoine Watteau for his pastoral figure subject compositions at Capodimonte. However in the case of this rare dish, a print source has not been identified. The softly painted landscape featuring a whimsical tower with a figure leaning from a balcony and pastoral figures in the foreground are typical of the painter's style and palette. For further discussion of Caselli's figure painting see A. Caròla-Perrotti, Le Porcellane dei Borbone di Napoli, Capodimonte e Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, 1743-1806, exhibition catalogue, Naples 1986, pp. 83-88.
