Lot Essay

These parrot jugs and covers have in the past been attributed to both Glienitz and Proskau and given the geographical proximity of the manufactories it may be that they were both producing very similar pieces. For an example in the Pflueger Collection, attributed to Glienitz, see Hugo Morley-Fletcher, Early European Porcelain & Faience, as collected by Kiyi and Edward Pflueger, London, 1993, Vol. II, p.224. Another of the same form was sold in these Rooms on 17 April 2014, lot 398 and another at Christie's in Amsterdam on 26-27 June 2007, lot 165.
