Footnotes

Provenance
Simon Spero Exhibition 1995, no.24
John Alchin Collection

This floral decoration is loosely in Chinese style but owes more to the formal painting seen on early Meissen porcelain. A pair of cornucopias with related decoration is illustrated by Sandon and Spero, The Zorensky Collection (1996), p.128, pl.101.
