LAST QUARTER 18TH CENTURY

These distinctive urns were inspired by Swedish faience from the Marieberg factory, where the form was first made in 1773, heralding the new fashion for classicism. J.G. Phillips illustrates a Marieberg example together with a Chinese export from the Helena Woolworth McCann collection (now at the Metropolitan Museum, New York) in China Trade Porcelain, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1956, pp. 162-3.
