For a similar early beaker, see Simon Spero, 2002 exhibition catalogue, no. 5, p. 10. Spero comments on the style of painting having strong similarities with pieces made at the St. James's 'Girl-in-a-Swing' manufactory and suggests that Charles Gouyn, after leaving Chelsea, may have acted as an independent decorator prior to starting up on his own at St. James's.
