Probably from Thomas Kirgate's library, with his (as well as Horace Walpole's) manuscript notes in the volume. Sold at Sotheby's, 12 June 1933 (Miscellaneous Sale), lot 365, to Maggs. Sold by Maggs to W.S. Lewis, August 1933. - Abstract:
- Drawing of a tall, thin vessel of indeterminate function, pale green in color and sitting upright on its ornate gold base. The opening at the top is edged with gold, below which is an image in gold of a figure riding a horse. To the right of where the base meets the rest of the vessel is a pencil annotation in Thomas Kirgate's hand indicating that this area is made of "blue glass". Presumably a depiction of an object kept by Horace Walpole in the China Room at Strawberry Hill.
