A selection of acanthus-moulded pieces is illustrated by John C Austin, Chelsea Porcelain at Williamsburg (1977), pp.40-7, nos.21-6, including jugs in two sizes. The present jug is the larger and rarer size, with the smaller examples measuring around 9cm in height. A very similar jug bearing a crown and trident mark, but of small size, was sold by Bonhams on 10 June 2003, lot 140. Another jug of small size was in the Rous Lench Collection, sold by Christie's on 30 May 1990, lot 314.
