|Provenance:Sotheby's sale 8 July 2008, lot 122Benjamin F. Edwards III, Christie's sale 26 January 2010, lot 360English delftware shoes were intended to bestow good luck on the owner, their form and decoration following changing fashions from the 1680s into the third quarter of the 18th century. Many are dated or initialled and most are painted only in blue, coloured examples being much rarer. A related polychrome pair with similar cross-hatched bands is illustrated by Leslie B. Grigsby, The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware (2000), fig.D363 and a range of dated shoes by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.409-415.
