Debruge-Duménil collection, Paris;[1] (Debruge-Dumenil sale, Paris, 23 January-9 February and 4-12 March 1850, no. 1143). Prince Petr Soltykoff [c. 1801-1889], Paris; (his sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 8 April-1 May 1861, no. 680). (Roussel, Paris). John Edward Taylor, London; (his estate sale, Christie, Manson & Woods, London, 1-4 and 9-10 July 1912, 3rd day, no. 250); (Duveen Brothers, Inc., London and New York); purchased November 1912 by Peter A.B. Widener, Lynnewood Hall, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; inheritance from Estate of Peter A.B. Widener by gift through power of appointment of Joseph E. Widener, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; gift 1942 to NGA. [1] The Debruge-Duménil collection was formed by Louis-Fidel Debruge-Duménil, who died in 1838, leaving the collection to his son and a daughter who was married to Jules Labarte; the pottery was mostly sold in 1850; see Labarte, Jules, _Description des objets d'art qui composent la collection Debruge Duménil precedé d'une introduction historique_, Paris, 1847: 12. The provenance given in the Taylor sale catalogue is "Seillière, Debruges, Soltykoff," but this is probably incorrect; no Seillière sale before 1847 is recorded by Lugt 1938-1964, and the piece does not appear in the Baron Achille Seillière estate sale in Paris, 5-10 May 1890.
