Provenance
Christie's sale, November 1975

Recorded in the list of dated Lowestoft porcelains by Geoffrey Godden, Lowestoft Porcelain (1985), p.220. An inkpot in the Castle Museum, Norwich, inscribed 'RB' and dated 1762, was described in the Catalogue of Lowestoft China in the possession of Frederick Arthur Crisp (1907) as having been made for Robert Browne, partner and manager of the Lowestoft factory. See Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain of the Eighteenth Century (1973), pl74A. Dated only a year later, the present lot may have been made for Robert Browne and his wife Elizabeth in a year when they celebrated their 60th and 65th birthdays.
