Footnotes

Provenance
John Alchin Collection

This example is very similar to one from the R David Butti Collection, Bonhams sale, 10 May 2006, lot 21, illustrated in that catalogue alongside a factory waster with a different geranium leaf. The same bird panel is found on a fluted creamboat illustrated by Simon Spero, The A J Smith Collection (2006), p.162, fig.74. Compare also with lot 99 in this sale, a creamboat from the Kenber Collection.
