Provenance
With Peter Guille, Ltd., New York; sold to Robert Sterling Clark, invoice dated 1 March 1941.¹ 1. According to his diaries Clark saw this salver at Peter Guille's shop on 30 November 1940, accompanied by the pair of salvers marked by Robert Cooper (1955.297): "He had a set of 3 fine tazzas–I think I shall buy them." The invoice, dated over three months later, also identifies the three as a set; Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute archives and curatorial files.
