Footnotes
A small number of fine Caughley dessert services of 'Bright Landscape' type are known. This unrecorded dish appears to be part of the 'Gold Star Border and Spangles Dessert Service' illustrated by Chris Holloway and Felicity Marno, Paul Sandby and related influences on Caughley Porcelain (2003). Some finely painted views used on Caughley were taken from Paul Sandby's Virtouosis' Museum published in 1778. Thomas Turner may have met Paul Sandby in London.
