Lot Essay

For two other vessels in this sale please see a mug with similar ships (lot 31), and a dish with a square-rigged ship, lot 32. The filler elements on this dish bear a very strong resemblance to those on the group of vessels crowded with animals, leading to an obvious question whether both were produced in the same workshop.
