Footnotes
Exactly the same print is seen on a saucer with provenance from the Goulding family, illustrated by Gabszewicz and Jellicoe, Isleworth Porcelain, Number 14, p 18. Matching shards from the factory site are shown at plate J. The same pattern was in common use at Worcester and Caughley with some minor differences between the two. The Isleworth version, however, shows some more significant differences, most notable is the replacement of the cormorant to the left of the print with another fisherman figure. See Geoffrey Godden, Caughley and Worcester Porcelains (1969), pls 33 and 233 for the Caughley and Worcester versions
