White, Living at the Whites' House: Ceramics from the Mary and Peter White collection, vol. 4, n.p., 2023, p.47 (the chamber pot); p.147 (the candlestick); p.274 (the Chinese Imari spittoon) The composition on the mythological dish is taken from part of a colour print by Johannes Teyler (1648-c.1709) from his Opus Typochromaticum (1688-98), depicting The Fall of Phaëton. The part of the Teyler print here shows a group of River Gods in distress, who had petitioned Zeus to stop Phaëton's uncontrolled chariot ride because it had caused their rivers to dry up. When Zeus kills Phaëton with a thunderbolt he falls into the River Eridanus where he is drowned. See an example published and exhibited by Cohen & Cohen, 'Hit & Myth', 2014, no.48, p.85.
