The mark '485 XIV' found alongside the Swansea script mark is most unusual and refers to plate 485 of volume XIV of Curtis's Botanical Magazine published on 1 July 1800. The ribbed form, simple gilded border and botanical specimen relate to the pearlware services produced a few years earlier at the Swansea Pottery. Another example of this rare form is illustrated by A E (Jimmy) Jones and Sir Leslie Joseph, Swansea Porcelain Shapes and Decoration (1988), p 96.
