Provenance
Hutton Collection
The neoclassical style of label is unusual but is also found on a similarly small jar of bulbous form in the Wellcome Collection, where the label is not left blank like the present lot, see J K Crellin, Medical Ceramics in the Wellcome Institute (1969), item 75. Vacant labels may have enabled the reuse of jars when temporary paper labels were applied to the surface of the glaze.
