Footnotes

Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcrelain (2004), colour pl. 27 and pls. 122-124. Also in 18th Century English Porcelain, A Selection from the Godden Reference Collection (1985), colour pl. 6 and pls. 43-46, An Introduction to English Blue and White Porcelains (1974), pl. 3, fig. 15, and Oriental Export Market Porcelain (1979), pl 257. Exhibited in the ECC Sauceboats exhibition, 2006 and illustrated by Nicholas Panes, British Porcelain Sauceboats (2009), figs. 177-178. On this example the moulding on both sides is well matched and this is not always the case on Bristol sauceboats. A marked Bristol sauceboat of similar shape in the Museum of Worcester Porcelain has a figure in the panel, see Henry Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (1969), pl. 2. A related marked Bristol sauceboat, but with different moulding, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum and illustrated by Bernard Watney, English Blue and White Porcelain (1973), pl. 20A. For an unmarked example see Simon Spero, Lund's Bristol and Early Worcester Porcelain (2005), fig. 3.
