This écuelle was exhibited from 1929 at the Bethnal Green Museum, which had been founded in 1872 as a branch museum of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Among many other disparate collections, much of Sir Richard Wallace's collection was displayed at the museum between 1872 and 1875 while Hertford House was being converted to receive it.
