Footnotes
In the 1820s Thomas Randall was in partnership with Richard Robins in Holborn, decorating Welsh and imported French porcelains. Much of the work carried out by Robins and Randall was in Sèvres style and was sold by unscrupulous dealers as 18th century originals. Thomas Randall settled at Madeley in Shropshire where he manufactured soft paste porcelain and continued to re-decorate old Sèvres. His nephew, John Randall worked as a bird painter at Madeley and then at Coalport, initially painting in a very similar style to his uncle. This ewer is a bone china body marked with the crossed LLs of Sèvres enclosing the letter 'C'. This is possibly a Coalport production and may therefore be the work of John Randall
