| Object history | Purchased from Dr. S. W. Bushell, accessioned in 1883. This acquisition information reflects that found in the Asia Department registers, as part of a 2022 provenance research project. The pattern may be a trade-mark, for it appears on several wine-cups of similar shape. cf. 3359-1853, 77-1883, C.445-1926. |
