One of the rarer of the group of Pronk-designed or inspired patterns, this is closely related to the parrot-on-the-perch pattern, also found in small garnitures. Cockatoo examples have been sold Sotheby's New York, 24 January 1995, lot 1155 (three pieces) and Sotheby's Monaco, 4 March 1984, where it was noted that a Japanese porcelain version from the collection of Richard de la Mare had been sold at Much Hadham Hall, 30 September 1980, lot 126
