Another covered ewer is illustrated by Havard 1878, p. 300, fig. 112, who attributes it to Adriaen Pynacker, circa 1690, after an erroneous identification of the PAK mark. Another covered ewer of this form with cashmere decoration is illustrated in Lunsingh Scheurleer 1984, p. 306, pl. 337; and in Van Aken-Fehmers 1999, p. 132, no. 39, who also illustrates a similar blue and white example marked for De Grieksche A (The Greek A) factory from 1722-57, p. 140, no. 47. Another cashmere palette-decorated covered ewer of this form with silver mounts and marked for De Grieksche A factory is illustrated in Lavino, p. 145 (top, left).
