Lot Essay

Compare the almost identical bowl from the Helena Woolworth McCann Collection in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, illustrated by J.G. Phillips, op.cit., 1960, pl.77, and p.166, where the author suggests that the interior border on this bowl is probably based on the types found on Meissen wares of the second quarter of the 18th Century.
