The painting on this bowl is exceptional in its use of perspective and depth and may have been made as a replacement for a Chinese original as part of a service. A Worcester teapot of the same pattern is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (C.74-1946), while in the H Rissik Marshall Collection in the Ashmolean Museum a Worcester teabowl is combined with a Chinese saucer. Zorka Hodgson refers to this design as the 'Bridge Inn' pattern and discusses it in her paper 'Origin of Chinese Designs on Early Worcester', see ECC Trans., Vol.12, Part 3, (1986), p.197.
