Octagonal shapes were popular at Chaffers' factory around 1756-60 although no similar mug appears to be recorded. The decoration seen here was a standard pattern used on cylindrical and bell-shaped mugs and a version of the design appears on the John Fell jug dated 1762, see Maurice Hillis, Liverpool Porcelain (2011), p.148, fig. 5.9 and p.176, fig. 5.69.
