Ref.:

- A very similar polychrome figure is part of the Aronson Delftware Collection. Some other examples: two high chairs were sold at Frederik Muller & Cie in Amsterdam on November 28, 1911, lot 1164 and 1165, with inscriptions on the table tops, one LPK- marked example with “dag mem” (“hello mum”), and the other with “geef mijn wat vuur” (“give me some fire”), the latter referring to the brazier underneath in the chair. Another with the inscription “Dag vader” (“Hello father”) is illustrated in Aronson 2018, p. 119, no. 72. (link).
