A comparable Dehua double-gourd ewer and cover, which is of the same size but with broader shape, is illustrated by P. J. Donnelly, in Blanc de Chine, New York, 1969, pl. 60D. The author mentions that these ewers are included in the inventory list of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony, whose collection comprises a large number of Dehua wares and is now in Dresden. The Dresden Inventory indicates that these ewers were used by Augustus the Strong as milk jugs. See also ibid., p. 405, where the author lists two other similar examples, one in the Baur Collection, another in the Kempe Collection.
