Ex. Al Chenet Collection (U.S. Collector previously from Spink & Son Ltd., privately, January 1978), sold Spink Australia Sale 27 (lot 1710) and Sale 30 (lot 1883). This pattern saw little distribution and nearly all present survivors emanate from the group of about forty five purchased by Baldwin at the Shorthouse Sale (Sotheby's 1912). Shorthouse was an avid collector and close friend of Moore's, the manufacturer.
