According to Worcester's London price list, circa 1755-56, fig leaves were made in two sizes. This larger version occurs in blue and white in Chinese style or in Meissen taste when enamelled and all examples are usually finely executed. The crisp veining suggests that the mould was produced by taking a cast from an actual leaf. A similar dish from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams on 22 February 2006, lot 29 and is illustrated by Spero and Sandon, Worcester Porcelain (1996), p.118, no.85.
