Knoop Collection, USA, probably acquired in the 1950s, with an old collection mark in red on the shoulder.
Bill and Jeanne Knoop married in 1946 and started collecting in 1948. They were avid and eclectic collectors, their passions and focus changing over the years, encompassing at various times Pilgrim furniture, early lighting, inlaid boxes, ivory miniatures, nautical and whaling artifcats. Their earliest collection, however, was of Egyptian artifacts, an area of interest which was sparked by a visit in the late 1940s to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
