Footnotes
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Eighteenth-Century English Porcelain, A Selection from the Godden Reference Collection (1985), pl 163, p 201 and discussed by the author at p 200 where he suggests that the restraint of the decoration may mean that it was copied directly from a Chinese original.
