Footnotes
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pl. 287 where it is suggested this might have accompanied a tea service. No other shapes of teawares have been discovered bearing this print, however. This shape with precise fluting on the underside corresponds with unglazed wasters found on the Isleworth site, see Massey, Pearce and Howard, Isleworth Pottery and Porcelain (2003), p. 70, fig. 110. This dish is illustrated as fig 111. It is also illustrated by Anton Gabszewicz and Roderick Jellicoe, Isleworth Porcelain (1998), fig. 31. Interestingly, a glazed shard of an identical Isleworth dish was found during excavations on the site of the Caughley factory's crushing mill at Willey Park, where broken china was ground to form 'grog'.
