Footnotes
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pl. 707-8, and 18th Century English Porcelain, A Selection from the Godden Reference Collection (1985), pl. 47. Also illustrated by Nicholas Panes, British Porcelain Sauceboats (2009), fig. 179 (as Lund's or possibly experimental Worcester). This is one of three related sauceboats that appeared on the market between 1980 and 1982. All were the same shape and type but with quite different subjects within the reserved panels, and different borders. In each case the interior decoration is remarkably close to Limehouse. Two examples accepted as authentic are in the A J Smith Collection, see Simon Spero, Lund's Bristol and Early Worcester Porcelain (2005), p. 75. Curiously, these also combine 'Limehouse' type flower painting inside, with characteristic Lund's painting in the panels. They are more thinly potted than other Lund's Bristol sauceboats and have a brittle quality.
