Provenance
Christie’s Amsterdam, 14 March 1984, lot 420 (receipt).

See an identical winepot, salvaged from the ‘Hatcher Cargo’, and
therefore dated c. 1640, see D.S. Howard, The Choice of the Private
Trader London 1994, p.142-143, no.150.

The moniker ‘Cadogan’ was only applied to this type of winepot in the
early 19th century when the Earl of Cadogan ordered their replication
at the Rockingham ceramic factory in England.
