Collection of the late Lord Plowden, G.B.E., K.C.B., and Lady Plowden, D.B.E., of Martels Manor, Great Dunmow, Essex, and by descent to the present owners. The amphora had been the property of Lord and Lady Plowden for many years; it was certainly in their possession by 1944, when they purchased Martels Manor.
