Lot Essay

This is a relatively rare form in Dutch Delft. A similar polychrome example, also marked for Lambertus van Eenhoorn (who was the owner of De Metaale Pot factory from 1691 to 1721), is illustrated by D. & R. Aronson and L. Roberts, Dutch Delftware, Amsterdam, 2005, p. 23, no. 20, where the authors note that large fragments of another vase of this type (with a Grieksche A factory mark) were excavated at Het Loo Palace 'in the queen's garden adjacent to Queen Mary's cellar dairy'.
