This important tureen is recorded by Mavis Bimson, John Ainslie and Bernard Watney, West Pans Story-The Scotland Manufactory, ECC Trans, Vol 6, pt.2, p.167. It is illustrated at pl 127 and discussed at p 174 where the authors note the apparent overlay of the flower garlands over parts of the main decoration, perhaps suggesting the work of two enamellers on the same piece. See also George Haggarty, Out of the Blue (2008), figs.2-12 for a range of other crested wares and fig.76 for another West Pans soup tureen of plain form.
