A Dalpayrat vase of identical form to the 'pilgrim bottle' offered here, but with less complex red glaze, was included in H. Blairman & Son Ltd., Furniture and Works of Art, London, 2021, no. 16. Blairman's discuss the rarity of the unusually large proportions of their vase, which is comparable with the size of the vase offered here, they also describe their vase as after the design by Alphonse Voisin Delacroix. Another, smaller, iteration is in the collection of The Victoria & Albert Museum, London (497-1896).
