Research and responses

This object is from the Lawrence-Cesnola collection which was sold at Sotheby on 15th May 1884. This object is part of lot number 1403 which is described in the sale catalogue as 'a spouted Tetine'. See copy of auctioneer's copy of the sale catalogue which is in the Cesnola Collectors File (the auctioneer's copy has who bought the object written in the margin, these are on microfilm in the Bodleian Library, Oxford). The Lawrence-Cesnola collection was mainly made up of objects collected or purchased from other collectors by Major A. Palma di Cesnola who was funded by Edwin Henry Lawrence. This is the sale of Lawrence's collection. Lawrence also purchased material from Major di Cesnola's brother - General Luigi Palma di Cesnola but, from the information in the sale catalogue it is extremely unlikely that this object is from General di Cesnola's collection.
