See the footnote to lot 6. Also see T. Wilson and E. Sani, Le maioliche rinascimentali nelle collezioni della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, 2007, Vol. II, pp. 85-88, nos. 92a-92b, where two very similar examples are illustrated and where they point out that 'the discovery of a lead-glazed pinecone jar under the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino raises new possibilities as to the use of these fascinating jars at a high social level'.1
Examples with surviving covers are extremely rare and it appears that only three lustred examples with covers have been published. Two in the Louvre, Paris, are illustrated by Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, nos. 666 and 667, and one of these (the latter) is illustrated by Wilson and Sani, ibid., p. 88, fig. 1. The example in the V&A Museum is illustrated by B. Rackham, Catalogue of Italian Maiolica, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1940, no. 517.
