Footnotes
Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), colour pl. 36 and pl. 152. Some early Worcester shapes seem to have been reserved for overglaze decoration only and blue and white versions are very rarely found. This shape is normally found enamelled with European figure subjects and while these are rare in themselves, blue and white examples, painted in the Chinese manner, are of the utmost rarity. One other very similar sauceboat in the Franks Collection in the British Museum is illustrated by Aileen Dawson, The Art of Worcester Porcelain (2007), p.58, fig. 16.
