with Aronson, Amsterdam.
A similar vase and cover in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (inv. no. 346:1, 2-1891) is marked for Lambertus van Eenhoorn at De Metaale Pot factory, Delft (1691-1724). Althought slightly larger than the present pair, this vase and cover is on a similar scale, is almost identical in form and palette and the subject matter of the painting, in particular the panels of baroque jardinières are related. For a similar seven piece garniture see Christine Lahaussois, Dleft - Faïence, Paris, 2008, p. 131, fig. 4. See also Robert Aronson, et. al., "Delftware, Nijstad Collection, Highlights from the Morpurgo Collection and other recent acquisitions", 2017, exhibition catalogue, pp. 60-61, cat. no. 29 for a similar pair of vases and covers from De Metaale Pot factory.
