Provenance
Geoffrey Godden Collection, Bonhams sale, 30 June 2010, lot 131

Illustrated by Geoffrey Godden, Eighteenth-Century English Porcelain: A Selection from the Godden Reference Collection (1985), p.201, pl.163 and discussed at p.200. Godden suggests that the restraint of the decoration may indicate that it was copied directly from a Chinese original. The size and form of this basin does not appear to have been otherwise recorded.

Saleroom notices

Please note that that this lot is catalogued as Lowestoft, as discussed and illustrated by Geoffrey Godden. However, there is also the possibility that it may be attributable to Bow.
