Footnotes
This plate and others of related type had been attributed to Bow prior to the discovery of a few small fragments on the Isleworth site. In Roy Howard's paper, Isleworth Pottery, Recognition at Last?, ECC Trans., vol. 16, part 3, the shards are shown on p.366, figs. 71 and 72 together with an apparently matching plate. This plate, which is also illustrated by Massey, Pearce and Howard, Isleworth Pottery and Porcelain (2003), p. 57, fig. 86, shows a more detailed version of the central panel. While it is possible the present plate is a Bow version of the design, the painting does show many Isleworth features, in particular the use of cross-hatching for the willow tree.
