Dutch? 17c vase – Cooktown Museum

Published by DACC on July 16, 2024July 16, 2024

While the vase looks more Middle Eastern or Asian it might come from a Dutch ship. It forms part of the Captain Thomson collection at the Cooktown Museum.

As indicated in the label below the picture it may have found by Frank Jardine, an early landowner, settler and police commissioner in Cape York.

Comments are very welcome.
