Puzzle-jugs are most commonly found in English and Dutch delftware and were generally decorated in blue and white. Examples painted in enamels and decorated in gilding are rare, and this example is also unusual for its small size. An example of similar size, painted in a similar palette with Chinese boys and flowering branches, formerly in the Collection of Benjamin F. Edwards III, is illustrated by Robert D. Aronson and Suzanne M.R. Lambooy, Dutch Delftware, including 'Facing East: Oriental Sources for Dutch Delftware Chinoiserie Figures', and highlights from the Mr. J. Visser Collection, Heemstede, and the Stigter-Gysberti Hodenpyl Collection, Singapore, Amsterdam, 2010, p. 84, no. 45, and was sold at Christie's, New York, 26 January 2010, lot 275.
