Footnotes

Provenance:
Garrick Bond Collection

Illustrated in Ceramics of Vauxhall, ECC 2007, p. 73, no.112. Compare with the slightly later mug of the same pattern, lot 233 in this sale. The basic elements of the design remain the same but there are significant differences in the detail. A saucer dish from the Pinewood Collection, sold by Phillips, 31 October 2001, lot 80 follows the design on this lot more closely.
