Footnotes
A bowl with the same pattern on the exterior is illustrated by Michael Archer, Delftware (1997), F 32, p 301. It bears a different interior inscription and is inscribed 'I Clark 1760' on the underside. Fragments with related decoration have been excavated at Lambeth. John Manners, Marquis of Granby, was commander in chief of the British contingent in the Seven Years War. He led a brilliant charge of the British cavalry at Warburg in 1760. The French were heavily defeated with the loss of 1500 men
