The preparatory drawing and the silver model show the variety of designs offered by the Maison Odiot. While the drawing envisages a kettle with extravagant ornamentation, the final model is more sober, with large gadroons found on other models made between 1825 and 1838 (see, for example, Jean-Marie Pinçon and Olivier Gaube du Gers, op.cit., for a vegetable dish reproduced on p. 178).

In 1836, his son Carl Maximilian (1811-1890) married Karoline von Rothenbourg (1805-1872), the natural daughter of Prince Paul-Charles of Württemberg (1785-1852). The drawing is referenced in the Odiot archives under number 40: "Lead pencil line drawing / 15-cup kettle / Three-post stove on runners / Shells linked by light garlands of / flowers - Body inverted form, decorated with / contoured lambrequins each bearing a / flower motif. Rocaille spout decorated with flowers / and water leaves, plain handle with opposite crossettes / Flower seed ".
