Provenance
Col. R. P. Laurie, sale Christie's, London, 28 April 1893, lot 93; possibly M. T. Kennard;¹ Cora, countess of Strafford, sale Christie's, London, 5 May 1937, lot 86; bought William Comyns & Sons Ltd., London. 1. This tankard may have been included in the loan exhibition of 1902 held at St. James's Court, London, cat. no. F15, lent by M. T. Kennard, but a discrepancy in height, published as 4 ¾ in., precludes positive identification
