Le Clerc, illustrated the story of Dirce - one of Venus's less successful rivals who, as a punishment for rivalling her in beauty, was turned into a mermaid and made to fall in love with a carp.According to David S. Howard's research, "a small number of these teapots are known and the design was clearly specially commissioned - possibly even including the shape of the teapot to accommodate a rectangular engraving." A very similar example is illustrated in his publication The Choice of the Private Trader: Private Market in Chinese Export Porcelain Illustrated from the Hodroff Collection, published by Zwemmer, London, 1994, no. 154, p. 145. Another example in the collection of Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, is illustrated in La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes a? De?cor Occidental, by Franc?ois et Nicole Hervoue?t, Flammarison, Paris, 1986, p. 309.The engraving by S. Le Clerc is illustrated in Metamorphoses d'Ovide en Rondeaux, by Isaac de Benserade, L'Imprimerie Royale, Paris, 1676, p.83. (see image 1)
