Object history
Formerly in the Weckherlin Collection, objects from which formed the core of the South Kensington (now V&A) Museum's German stoneware collection on their acquisition in 1868. The collection of Wilhelm Carl Albert de Weckherlin, Secretary to Queen Sophie of the Netherlands (1818-1877, was published in The Hague in 1860. Shortly after this, it was acquired by the Belgian-born art dealer, publisher and patron of the Pre-Raphaelite painters, Jean Joseph Ernest Theodore Gambart, who displayed it in his London house "Rosenstead", Avenue Road, near Regent's Park, until a gas explosion caused him to reconsider the long-term security of his remaining pots - he sold 62 objects to the Museum for £800
