There would appear to be no similar English delft polychrome cisterns recorded in the literature. The decoration, however, is broadly similar in style and palette to a conical chocolate-pot of 1705, illustrated by Louis L. Lipski and Michael Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p. 345, no. 1529, now in the Robert Hall Warren Collection, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; a jug of 1709 illustrated by John C. Austin, British Delft at Williamsburg (1994), p. 73, no. 25 and a flowerpot from the Gower Collection also at Williamsburg, see ibid., p. 256, no. 611.
