Comments:Harrison-Hall and Krahl 1994:The blue-and-green colour scheme using both under and overglaze blue is otherwise extremely rare, although an identical pair of urns was formerly in the Winkworth collection (Sotheby’s London, 12th December 1972, lot 124). The shape is closely following a faience model made at Rouen, France (Chompret et al., 1933, vol. IV, pl. 72 A). The decoration which is loosely based on designs developed by Berain was also used at Rouen, but was highly popular at the time in any medium (see also BM Franks. 734A).
