Footnotes
This extraordinary bowl brings together a number of motifs used at Bristol and continued at Worcester in its earliest years. The building seen on the cover is closely related to two early coffee cups, one in the Watney Collection Part 2, lot 557, the other in the British Museum inscribed under the base TB 1753. This design was designated 'The Union Jack House' by Branyan, French and Sandon (1981/1989) pattern I.B.1. A related figure with a parasol is seen on a Bristol vase in the A J Smith Collection illustrated by Simon Spero, Lund's Bristol and Early Worcester Porcelain (2005), fig. 13. The body and glaze on this covered bowl has all the appearance of Lund's Bristol porcelain, although it is also conceivable this is one of the first productions made at Worcester.
