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.
