Seventeenth and eighteenth century Dutch Delft wine cisterns are rare survivals compared to their counterparts in silver and copper. A close slightly larger example of this form, also marked for Lambertus van Eenhoorn, is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, gifted by Nijstad Antiquairs, N.V., in memory of A. Nijstad, obj. no. BK-1960-173. A further example marked for Eenhoorn raised on paw feet (the present example was also probably originally raised on paw feet), is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, acc. no. 1971.33.
