  • De Grieksche A Pottery (Jan Theunis Dextra), Delft: Shaving bowl (1758-64). Donated by F.G.Dalgety 1862. NGV 504C-D1M: see photo at right

Both pieces listed above were donated by Dalgety in 1862.

The shaving bowl is from the famous pottery operated from 1657-1818, under successive masters (Dextra was in charge from 1757-65). Other ceramic pieces from the same pottery, acquired after 1904/5, are also in the NGV collection.
