2. Attribution
Both Pieter Gerritsz Kam (active c.1700–1705) and his widow Maria van der Kloot (c.1705–1716) used PK. The mark places it firmly in the Kam workshop.
3. Comparison with the Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadelphia Museum’s Bradbury Bedell Collection includes jars with nearly identical PK marks. Like our pair, they are octagonal vases with blue-and-white decoration, confirming a close link to the Kam workshop’s recognized output. -
