Cf. Joan Jones, Minton, The First Two Hundred Years of Design & Production (1993), p. 197 for a vase of similar form (shape number 1722) with similar decoration to the neck dated 1892; see also Bernard Bumpus, Pâte-sur-Pâte, The Art of Ceramic Relief Decoration, 1849-1992 (1992), p. 125, pl. 84 for a related example dated 1886. The apparent pair to the above lot, 'Lost', currently in the Minton Museum, dates to 1876.
