Footnotes
A closely related scene and a related border to the first-mentioned plate is found on a Derby plate with the monogram 'TMR' to the reverse, illustrated by Roger S Edmundson, Billingsley, Randall and Rose, Welsh Ceramics in Context, Part I, fig 11.11, p 201, where the career of Thomas Martin Randall is discussed. The gilded border on the second-mentioned plate is very similar to that found on pieces painted in the London workshop of John Powell
