Footnotes
Painting in this style has traditionally been attributed to M Soqui. However, the painting style is similar to that of Fidelle Duvivier. See the teapot and cover in The Ashmolean Museum signed 'F Duvivier/in/ins/1772' and illustrated by Dinah Reynolds, Worcester Porcelain, pl 23, p 54. The similarities become more evident when Duvivier's work on New Hall is examined, especially the tea and coffee service painted with birds and illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, New Hall Porcelains, pl 81.
