Cornelis Pronk (1691-1759) was a Dutch draughtsman and painter who was
employed by the Dutch East India Company from 1734 until around 1740 to
create designs for porcelain. A number of Pronk’s designs, including the decoration
on this vase, were drawn from botanical studies and prints by the Dutch-Swiss
naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717).
Cf. Christie’s London, 25th April 2017, lots 118 and 119 for a three-piece
