These distinctive urns were inspired by Swedish faience from the Marieberg factory, where the form was first made in 1773, heralding the new fashion for classicism. J.G. Phillips illustrates a Marieberg example together with a Chinese export from the Helena Woolworth McCann collection (now at the Metropolitan Museum, New York) in China Trade Porcelain, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1956, pp. 162-3.
