Footnotes

Provenance
Ralph Kenber Collection

Closely comparable models are found more commonly at Bow. It is likely that the Bow modeller John Toulouse moved to the Worcester factory in the late 1760s and may be responsible for both versions. A similar pot from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams, 22 February 2006, lot 210 and a pair in the H Rissik Marshall Collection is illustrated in Coloured Worcester Porcelain (1954), pl.20, no.383. A related biscuit waster is illustrated by Henry Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (1969), pl.147.
