A similar example is in the Lavino collection in Belgium (Lavino, p. 113). The same collection holds a second item from the Metal Pot factory (p. 213). It is marked LVE for Lambertus van Eenhoorn, the owner of the pottery from 1691 till 1724. The same shape without the extra feet, marked APK for Pieter Kocx of the Greek A pottery, was auctioned in 2004 (Christie’s 2004, lot 630). A covered bowl from the same period and pottery (APK mark: 1701-1722) is in the collection of the Haags Gemeentemuseum (The Hague Municipality Museum, inventory number OCD 3-1971) and published in Fourest (p. 112, nr. 1040).
