Footnotes
An example of this same model, decorated with 'polychrome printed' flowers was in the Watney Collection, pt. 1, lot 366. Identical polychrome flower decoration was used at Vauxhall. This is illustrated by Simon Spero, Vauxhall Porcelain- A Tentative Chronology, ECC Trans., Vol 18, Pt. 2, fig. 56. Spero discusses how this series of small Seasons does not fit into the Longton Hall oeuvres, and may relate to the 'four small figures of Vauxhall China' sold by Crisp & Co. in May 1755
