Lot Essay

For the same subject, clearly derived form the same graphic source but by a less sophisticated hand than the present tankard, see the Birnkrug in the Hans Cohn Collection, Los Angeles, illustrated by Helmut Bosch, Deutsche Fayencekrüge des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts (Mainz, 1983), pl. 66. Another Humpen is illustrated by Wolfgang Schwarze, op. cit., fig. 992.
