Footnotes

Provenance: Syon House, the London residence of the Duke of Northumberland. This bowl was probably acquired directly from the Isleworth factory by Sir Hugh Percy (1715-86), Lord Lieutenant of Middlesex, or his son, patronising the local manufactory. This bowl appeared in Sotheby's auction of property from Syon House in May 1997. Part of lot 670N, a mixed lot of porcelain, this bowl was bought by Roderick Jellicoe and included in his exhibition in 1998, see Anton Gabszewicz and Roderick Jellicoe, Isleworth Porcelain (1998), fig. 27. It is illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, English Blue and White Porcelain (2004), pls. 288-289 and in Ray Howard's paper, Isleworth Pottery, Recognition at Last, ECC Trans, Vol. 16, part 3, p. 357, fig. 34. It is also illustrated and discussed by Geoffrey Godden, Isleworth Porcelain in Victorian Collections, ECC Trans, Vol 20, part 1, pp. 79-81, and by Massey, Pearce and Howard, Isleworth Pottery and Porcelain (2003), p. 37, fig 54. An Isleworth saucer matching this bowl was sold in these rooms 14 April 2010, lot 93.
