Footnotes
Provenance
Anon. sale, Christie's, 29 November 2011, lot 8
Literature
White, Mary, 'Luxury porcelain decoration in London 1750-55: O'Neale and London Ateliers', ECC Trans, Vol.30, 2019, p.41-42, figs.17 and 21
White, Mary, Beasts at the Whites' House, Vol.1, 2020, p.129
Fluted teabowls and cups of the late raised anchor or early red anchor period occur more frequently than this larger form, most likely a sugar bowl, which would have accompanied such teawares, providing a larger canvas for painted decoration. Mary White notes that this is one of the earliest examples of O'Neale's work in their collection, citing the prominence of the animals within the very detailed landscape and the absence of blue to denote the sky. A sugar bowl of this form painted with European flowers and insects in Vincennes style was sold by Bonhams on 21 June 2023, lot 318.
