The Ewer Factory (De Lampetkan) operated between 1609 and 1811. The initials LPK or LP Kan, abbreviations for Lampetkan were used from c. 1752 until the factory closed in 1811. During this period the factory was directed by the widow of Maarten van der Ceel from 1752-1778 and by Abraham van der Ceel from 1778-1808. This vase and its pair probably made between about 1765-1800.
