Cf. a similar pair in the Peabody Museum of Salem, illustrated by W.R. Sargent, op. cit., no.110, p.226; another, illustrated by Beurdeley, op. cit., cat.107, p.173, where the author suggests that the form was inspired by a Montpellier or Moustiers faience original. An almost identical pair of bough-pots was sold in these Rooms on 2 March 1976, lot 323; and another very similar pair sold in New York, 20 and 21 October 1989, lot 386
