This vase is a very early acquisition, bought in 1846 by the London School of Design. It was later illustrated in the publications by Philippe Burty and Digby Wyatt as wall as by Ziegler himself, as an example of the Alhambresque style. Ziegler, a painter, architect and lithographer, turned potter, specialising in salt-glazed stoneware, during a visit to Germany. He established a pottery at Voisinlieu, near Beauvais, in 1839 and on its closure in 1844 became Curator of the Museum and director of the École des Beaux-Arts at Dijon.
