Illustrated by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.384, fig.1658A where this is listed alongside six further jars from the same dated set. A total of four syrup jars and three dry drug jars are recorded in Lipski and Archer as nos. 1658 A-F. Dated drug jars bearing this very rare label span a date range 1667-1677 and this seems to have been reintroduced in 1690 for the present, important set. See also the syrup jar with angel's head label also inscribed 'S:TVSSILAGIN', lot 79 in this sale.
