Whilst it is difficult to attribute the vases to a factory on the basis of the colour palette, this minimal colour scheme is recorded on pieces marked for the De Paauw (Peacock) factory; including a three vase garniture in the musée national de l’Hôtel Sandelin, Saint-Omer, published by Christine Lahaussois, Delft - Faïence, Paris, 2008, p. 69, fig. 3. A plate marked for the De Paauw factory, and a bottle vase decorated in this palette are illustrated by Robert D. Aronson and Eveline Brouwers, Dutch Delftware, Timeless Elegance, Amsterdam, 2012, pp. 36-39, nos. 22-24.
