    Provenance
    The Albert Collection, sold in these Rooms 10 June 2010, lot 280
    Literature
    R. Butler, The Albert Collection, 500 Years of British and European SIlver, Woodbridge, p. 11, no. 545
    Lot Notes
    The work of this box is of the complex and elegant type seen on a pair of parcel gilt silver covered bowls and tazzas sold in these
    Rooms, 8 October 2008, lot 250 and a gold Goa stone container and stand sold at Bonham's, 16 October 2003, lot 349. In the
    note to the former, the problems of attribution were discussed, in light of the lack of surviving comparable items. The catalogue
    entry on the Goa stone holder suggested Bombay, Rajastan or Gujarat as an origin. Because of the strength of European

    influence on the silver covered bowls and tazzas however, coupled with the lack of European settlements in from the coast in
    the 17th century, Gujarat - or possibly Bombay - are the most probable origin.
